Savennières 2022

The 2022 vintage from Savennières is nothing short of divine. Defined by an exceptionally hot and dry summer, it delivered perfectly ripened grapes, concentrating both aromas and freshness into this exceptional dry white wine. Unlike some neighboring Loire appellations, where heat occasionally disrupted the balance of dry whites, Savennières benefitted from its well-draining schist soils, mitigating excesses. This vintage stands out for its intense aromatic profile, blending fresh pear, quince, and elegant minerality with a finely honed structure. By mastering slightly overripe harvests and precise winemaking, producers achieved wines of remarkable purity and energy. With a score of 4.7/5, this vintage is a benchmark, reaffirming the excellence of this iconic Loire appellation for lovers of exceptional dry white wines.
