The 2020 vintage of Savennières is simply *divine*, a true masterpiece of precision and elegance. Exceptional weather conditions defined the year: above-average temperatures throughout the growing season, combined with moderate rainfall, ensured ideal grape ripening. Harvested as early as September 8, the first Chenin Blanc grapes showcased vibrant citrus aromas, particularly grapefruit, while those picked after September 20 offered more indulgent notes of apricot, peach, and ripe quince. Compared to other Loire appellations producing dry whites, such as Vouvray or Muscadet, Savennières stood out for its generous palate, balancing roundness and freshness with persistent minerality. Rated 4.6/5, this vintage is a benchmark for age-worthy wines, highlighting the exceptional schist terroirs of this unique appellation.
