Loïc Mahé "Sable & Schistes" Savennières 2020

A focused, terroir-driven Chenin Blanc from Loïc Mahé, showcasing the unique interplay of sand and schist soils in Savennières. Farmed biodynamically and fermented with native yeasts, this cuvée is a pure, mineral expression of place, balancing ripeness with precision.

Aromas of pear skin, Meyer lemon, and white florals lift from the glass, underpinned by a cool, stony edge. The palate is textural and taut, with layered notes of yellow apple, citrus oil, and chalk, carried by a clean, linear acidity. A lees-aged finish adds subtle weight and savory complexity. A cerebral, soil-kissed Chenin built for long lunches and quiet contemplation.
