Hailing from the Anjou region of the Loire Valley, this white French wine is produced from Chenin Blanc grape variety. Typically full-bodied and age-worthy Savennières wines have a unique character and usually display complex aromas of white fruits and flowers, citrus, or beeswax, all complemented by sharp acidity and lots of minerality.
The whole region is divided into two smaller sub-regions, La Roche-aux-Moines and Coulée de Serrant, with the latter being a single estate owned by the father of biodynamic winemaking Nicolas Joly. Savennières is best paired with fish, crustaceans, poultry, pâté, and dishes with the creamy beurre blanc sauce.
