DOMAINE LAUREAU Savennieres Bel Ouvrage
Al Drinkle on 2020 Domaine Laureau Savennières “Le Bel Ouvrage”
An expansive, powerful incarnation of Chenin grown on schist and rhyolite, this breathtaking expression of Savennières transcends grape and place. Celestial bath salts, luminescent cookie dough, shepherd’s tea popsicles and enough allusive rock references to give an entire geologist’s convention wet dreams intricately combine with a million other flavours in a full-bodied, texturally-beguiling masterpiece of Loire wine.
