"It's taut as it should be, there's an edge, and power and elegance, a fine bottle in prospect" (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2012). With 7 ha of vines located exclusively in the Savennières appellation, Château de Varennes is a favorite on the northern bank of the Loire. Here, it produces a mineral, fresh and very elegant white, with fine aromas. A lovely bottle to drink straight away with a filet mignon!

Tasted in 2017: very good: aromatic, very lively and very dry. An excellent chenin

Note and review by M. MICHEL M. Published on 01/05/2016
Bottle opened in April 2016 and to my great regret the wine is candied, a little maderized to a word not good and not at all the taste of a savennière. I still have one more bottle to open, so we'll see if it's a case of bad luck.

I was a bit expectant about this wine, but I was pleasantly surprised: lots of fine, elegant aromas and a lovely minerality. In short, a pleasant surprise!
