Loïc Mahé | 2024 Sables et Schist Savennières | $???? x 12 bottles
What a dream! The 2024 vintage opens with expressive aromas of yellow plum, Bosc pear, and ripe peach, layered with subtle undertones of ground ginger and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine delivers a powerful, textured medium-to-full body balanced by a driving tension and crisp, lively acidity. The experience concludes with a completely dry, crystalline finish defined by a distinct salty minerality derived from the estate's sandy schist soils.
