Domaine Belargus - Savennieres 'Rucheres' 2020
The Savennieres Rucheres is ripe yet delicately scented with aromas of pineapple and almond meal.
The 2018 vintage was historic, in Anjou as in many French regions, with good yields and exceptional grape quality. The dry wines harvest began on September 10th and went on for twenty days without a single drop of rain. All harvesting was completed by hand in perfect conditions which allowed optimal management of the ripeness.
The 2020 Savennieres Rucheres is ripe yet delicately scented with aromas of pineapple and almond meal. There's a purity and focus to this mid-weight wine, but it remains round. Lick-your-lips salinity and a line of acidity run through like a tight thread, keeping the wine persistent and long. 91 points, Rebecca Gibb, Vinous.
