Description / Reviews
"Organic and Biodynamic Chenin blanc from a blend of Les Murailles and l'Aiglerie (plots located between Savennières and La Possonnière along the Loire), and Les Mauriers. All southwest-facing, schist and aoelian sand soils. Matured for 11 months in underground tile-lined tanks, amphoras, and 400L barrels, spontaneous malolactic conversion. “La Saponaire” literally translates to “grass soap.” La Saponaire is Savennières’ emblematic plant and the origin for its name and inhabitants – the Saponarians. It thrives on the light, sandy and draining soils of Savennières." - Mosaique, Importer
"Chenin, bien sûr. This wine smells of meadow. Only later, after writing my note, I realised there was a wildflower on the label, Saponaria officinalis aka Wild Sweet William. Importer: Mosaique
Wild blossoms, flower pollen, beeswax, fresh herbs, raw seeds and nuts. It’s a meadow! Lithe, understated juice, with underlying chalkiness, zing of grapefruit, and underripe orange. It’s gentle in its nature but it also has a strong ‘mineral’ drive and focus. What a ripper. Super nice Chenin. Super pretty." - 93 points, Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front (2021 vintage)
