Château du Plaisance Savennieres '23

This Savennières presents a deep gold color, signaling its concentration. The aromatic profile is intense and complex, offering deep aromas of beeswax, ripe quince, toasted almond, and a pronounced honeyed, mineral character. On the palate, it is broad and powerful, with a dense, textural weight that is expertly balanced by a firm, searing acidity. Layers of baked apple, honey, and a subtle spice note unfold with impressive depth and focus, leading to a long, dry, and commanding finish. This is a dry, age-worthy Chenin Blanc, fermented and aged in large, neutral oak barrels to add texture and complexity without oak flavor. Earning 93 points for its power and precision, it is a perfect match for rich seafood like lobster or scallops, or roasted pork with apples.
