The 2011 vintage in Savennières is excellent, a year where winemakers made the most of a challenging weather pattern. After a cool, wet spring, September brought rain, but the return of good weather allowed the vines to recover, leading to a harvest of exceptional quality. Despite low yields, the dry white wines of this year are outstanding. The Chenin blancs of Savennières stand out for their aromatic richness and balance between power and freshness. Compared to other Loire appellations, the 2011 vintage allowed Savennières to produce wines that are both concentrated and subtle, though yields were limited. This vintage is characterized by complex aromas of ripe fruit and mineral notes that give a long finish. A score of 3.8/5 reflects this exceptional but rare character.
