2023 Chateau d'Epire Savennieres Chenin Blanc

Château d’Epiré’s 2023 Savennières channels the schist slopes above the Loire into a glass of riveting precision. Hand-picked Chenin Blanc ferments with its native yeasts in chilled stainless, then rests on fine lees in old barrels, weaving creamy depth through razor acidity. Aromatics burst: green apple, quince, and honeysuckle edged by flinty smoke. The palate follows with ripe pear, lemon oil, and a whisper of beeswax riding a spine of electric minerality. Bone-dry, tightly coiled, and age-worthy, this classic Savennières elevates quiet dinners and grand celebrations alike—just give it a gentle chill and a wide-bowled glass.

Nose: Crisp green apple, white quince, and acacia blossom over subtle honeycomb and gun-flint.

Palate: Juicy pear and lemon curd glide across silken lees texture, sparked by vibrant acidity and smoky slate.

Finish: Long, mouth-watering close echoes citrus oil, beeswax, and cool stone freshness.

Stands up to rich flavors yet flatters delicate textures—pour alongside lemon-butter scallops, roast chicken with tarragon, or a wedge of young Comté to let the wine’s citrus drive and mineral backbone shine.
