2016 Domaine FL Savennières Roche-aux-Moines

Review Date: 12/2023Showing all the delights of Chenin with bottle age: fleshy apples, honey, grilled pineapple and a faint hint of kerosene. It starts lush and concentrated then explodes with a citrus intensity, driving towards a wall of steel, flint and minerals. A soft, rich exterior is wrapped around a fierce gunmetal-hard core. Nudging the £50 mark but worth splashing out on, especially if you're having pork and apple sauce. (NE)

A beautiful nose of pears and white flowers gently leads you into this elegant, mid-weight dry white that is just coming to its best drinking form. So much minerality and lemon-zest freshness at the long, compact finish. Screams out for Gillardeau oysters! From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The 2016 Roche aux Moines is succulent while remaining compact and becoming increasingly taut and precise. It is drawn out and long with excellent intensity of lemon citrus, ripe apple and almond meal lingering on the textural finish, lightly tannic, savory and satisfying. Starting to drink beautifully now. (RG)
