(2014 vintage notes)

With its luminous, golden yellow color, this Savennières is crystalline and pure on the nose, with hints of blond wood brought on by ageing. The attack is full-bodied and racy, thanks in particular to fine mineral bitters. The finish is long, chiselled and lemony, with a saline finish. A great gastronomic Loire white!

Tasting & pairing

Eye

Luminous golden yellow

Nose

Crystalline and pure. The palette is restrained but marked by great purity. Hints of ageing and blond wood underline the iodine and mineral aromas.

Mouth

Full-bodied and racy, its scope is well controlled by its fine mineral bitters and a touch of root. Remarkably long on the palate, with a chiselled, lemony finish that gives it a long, saline, tonic persistence.

Roger-François Béguinot, who made his fortune in baby food, and his wife fell in love with Château Soucherie in 2007. This 28-hectare estate is ideally situated on a south-facing schist slope between Beaulieu and Rochefort, in the Anjou, Savennières, Coteaux du Layon and Chaume appellations.

Note and review by M. JEAN-CLAUDE G. Published on 16/10/2018

Very disappointing; does not correspond at all to the wine advertised and described. Discourages me from buying Savennières again.
