DOMAINE LAUREAU Savennieres L'Aurore
Al Drinkle on 2017 Domaine Laureau Savennières “l’Aurore”
Savennières was subjected to merciless frosts in the spring of 2017 and Damien’s valiant response was to combine all of the domaine’s fruit into one comprehensive cuvée. The result is a mere 200 cases of an understated, caressing and spiritually-stirring survey of this tiny region’s various altitudes, aspects and soil types. It’s a one-off, and it goes without saying that quantities are extremely limited.
