Domaine FL Savennières “Le Parc”
WHY WE LOVE IT
Varietal Composition: 100% Chenin Blanc
Elaboration: The vinification process respects nature and terroir, with wines labeled “organic agriculture” to emphasize biodiversity and natural resource preservation. Manual harvesting ensures high-quality grapes, and no malolactic fermentation in white wines preserves their rich expression and aging potential.
Tasting Notes: Light yellow, brilliant reflections. Notes of apple and quince. Aromas of ripe stone fruits and fresh citrus fruits.
