Title
Domaine aux Moines Vin de France Le Berceau des Fées
Organic. This delightfully pulpy, dry Chenin Blanc is made from younger vines in Savennières' prestigious Roche-aux-Moines terroir. The wine takes its name from the copse of trees surrounding the two-hectare parcel—The Cradle of the Fairies. Fermented wild in stainless steel, it is classified as Vin de France, as the wine's six-month aging is less than is legally required for the Savennières appellation.
The combination of the vineyard's schist soils and Tessa Laroche's precise, low-sulphur winemaking gives a spritely and delightfully dry Chenin, vibrating with cool orchard fruit and salted-lemon flesh supported by mouthwatering acidity and Savennières' smoky mineral notes. Unlike the domaine's grand vin, this cuvée is not designed to cellar more than a few years. This will not present a problem; this uplifting Loire white is already dangerously delicious!
Awards
“A tasting of two lots from stainless steel, the harvest from 2 hectares of vines, aged four to six years. Tank #1: A 50-hecoliter tank. Beautifully honeyed fruit, freesias and powdered chalk on the nose, textured, plump, smoky and fresh on the palate, with floral and mint notes. Tank #2: A 70-hectoliter tank. Mint and minerals on the nose, tense, fresh, minerally and bright on the palate, perhaps a little less focused on the finish. A cool style, the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations both complete here, the residual sugar 0.4g/l, alcohol around 11.5%. As usual with tastings like this I have added a note of caution to my ranked score.”
91-93 points, Chris Kissack, The Wine Doctor
