Loïc Mahé | 2020 Petit Moulin | $35 x 12 bottles
If you love Chenin Blanc from the Loire, this wine is for you. Amazing aromatics complemented by an unbroken wave of body and flavour across the palate while retaining freshness and balance. It is a quintessential Loire Chenin with loads of minerality, soft yellow fruits, herbal notes and lovely tension & structure. Side note: historically when this cuvée was created, there was a mill next to the plot, ergo “Le Petit Moulin”

Due to excessive spring frosts on the slopes of La Possonnière and St-Georges, Loic replaced his lost crops initially produced on these terroirs and continued his cuvées by selecting grapes from trusted organic or biodynamic winegrower colleagues, and vinifies them in his cellar in Savennières.
