Domaine Laureau Savennieres Les Genets Chenin Blanc (2019)

Tasting notes

The 2019 Les Gênets is a powerful, reductive style of Savennières that has a sense of roundness but remains firm, focused with real drive. Damien Laureau lost 40% of his crop due to spring frosts leading to a concentrated and firm style. Expect mandarin flavors alongside red grapefruit. It's a powerful, intense wine from vines planted on sand over schist.

Score: 93
