Savennières Roche aux Moines, Tessa Laroche 2022

Savennières Roche aux Moines, Monique Laroche, Anjou-Saumur

Monique Laroche and her daughter Tessa, oenologist, have a magnificent property (acquired in 1981, from 4 ha to 10 today) and a rare heritage of great vintage La Roche-aux-Moines, at the top of the banks of the Loire, near Casting of Serrant. A masterful terroir, not very productive, whose interpretation is found with nuance in bottle. Since the beginning of the 2000s, qualitative options have been taken, evolving the style towards precise and dry savenières (except the sorting liqueur of the Nuns), now deep and naturally elegant. The status of large estate Loire is confirmed by wines each year more successful.

Very attractive nose even if it is a little high-toned. Authentic and pretty with excellent focus and weight. Great balance with freshness, focus and elegance. Approachable now but will undoubtably keep. Lovely. A contender for being the wine of the vintage.

Grape: 100% Chenin Blanc
