'La Croix Picot' Savennieres

While this is a slightly lighter example of Savennieres, it does not compromise on flavour. Near Anjou, the soils here have wonderful drainage, providing excellent concentration of fruit. The wine is aged for a year in oak, and a further six months on the lees, giving the wine a lovely texture. Subtle flavours of pink lady apple, peach, and creme patissiere run rife on the palate. |O|
