The 2012 Savennières 'Chamboureau' is a gorgeous Chenin Blanc from Domaine FL. The fruit for this wine was sourced from Domaine FL‘s 10 hectare vineyard in Savennières, where the soils are composed of a mixture of schist with some clay, quartz and dark sand. As the wine opens, it releases fresh, clean aromas of lime and tropical fruits, followed by minerals and jasmine. On the palate this displays wonderful precision, with excellent minerality and a bright core of acidity leading to the pretty finish. An absolutely gorgeous wine that is drinking outstanding right now. (Best 2015-2018) - August, 2015 (MD)
