2022 Domaine Fournier-Longchamps Savennières “La Croix Picot”, Loire Valley, France
A beautifully complex wine, with a nose that balances ripe orchard fruit—such as quince and green apple—with a hint of beeswax and delicate white flowers. The palate is both rich and crisp, offering a lovely interplay between fruit sweetness and a zesty, stony minerality. The finish is long, dry, and precise, with a touch of citrus zest adding to the wine's refreshing complexity.

ABOUT THIS WINE:
The grapes for this Savennières come from the “La Croix Picot” vineyard, a premier site in the heart of the appellation. The wine is made using traditional methods, with a gentle press of whole clusters and natural fermentation in oak barrels. The wine ages on its lees for several months, allowing for a fuller texture while maintaining the vibrant acidity that Savennières is known for. Bottled in the spring of 2023, this wine is an elegant expression of its terroir, with potential for further aging.
