Domaine Belargus Savennieres Gaudrets 2022

The Savennières Les Gaudrets from Domaine Belargus is a wine that speaks of its origins in the heart of the Loire Valley. The nose immediately delights with aromas of white fruits, ripe orchard fruits, and delicate spring flowers, underscored by hints of spice and a sweet oak influence. This Chenin Blanc is medium to full-bodied, offering a rich and fleshy texture that wraps around the palate like a soft embrace. There’s a distinct minerality from the sandy soils and black schist slopes, adding a touch of depth and complexity. The wine’s finish is long, with a toasty, ethereal quality that lingers delicately. A slightly bitter edge at the end provides a refreshing contrast, making this an intriguing and elegant choice with excellent aging potential. It’s a true reflection of the Domaine Belargus philosophy — hard work and patience rewarded with a wine of ambition and character.
