Domaine Richou, Chauvigné 2007


Right across the river from Savennieres in Anjou ‘noir’, this area is know for its black slate soil that imparts a minerality that is absolutely fruity, while maintaining a bone-dry acidity. 100% chenin blanc. Fermented almost entirely in stainless steel, but spends some time in old oak. This gives an intense finish that is just incredible.
