"A shimmering citrus color dresses the 2014 Savennières Les Genêts, a Chenin Blanc from 25- to 50-year-old vines on sand and silt soils. Fermented and aged for 18 months in neutral French oak and in tanks, the wine displays a pure and flinty, but also ripe and intense bouquet of ripe fruits. Full-bodied and very elegant on the palate, this is a highly elegant, very intense, finessed and almost creamy textured Chenin Blanc; however, it is also piquant and finely racy with power, grip and tension. The finish is very persistent and well defined. The 2014 is a great drinking pleasure today, but will gain even more complexity . . ."
