DOMAINE LAUREAU Savennieres L'Alliance
Al Drinkle on 2022 Domaine Laureau Savennières“L’Alliance”
The domaine’s “business card”, this is a blend of two vineyard sites (for the nerds, these are La Petite Roche and La Pitrouillet) consisting of vines less than 20 years old. It’s punishingly saline, disarmingly fruitless and a brilliant introduction to Domaine Laureau, to Savennières at its most charmingly austere and to Chenin Blanc at its most glacial.
