The 2018 vintage in Savennières is unanimously recognized as divine, achieving an exceptional level rarely seen even for this iconic appellation. The year’s climatic conditions – a generously rainy spring followed by a warm and sunny summer – provided winemakers with a perfectly balanced harvest. This cycle allowed Chenin Blanc to thrive, yielding wines of superb aromatic richness, characterized by sharp minerality and remarkable depth. Compared to other Loire appellations specializing in dry white wines, such as Muscadets from the Nantes region or Touraine whites, Savennières 2018 stands out for its superior intensity and complexity, enhanced by the noble bitter strength of its schist-rich terroir. With slightly above-average yields and peak quality, this vintage epitomizes a year where nature and craftsmanship joined forces to produce exceptional wines. Rating: 4.7/5
