Domaine Belargus - Savennières 'Gaudrets' 2022

The Savennieres Gaudrets is floral and herbal, reminiscent of dill with a sweet oak influence.

Domaine Belargus owns 10 hectares out of the 40 that are classified Grand Cru in the Loire Valley and known as Quarts-de-Chaume. From the terraces of Clos des Ruchères in Savennières, planted directly on the rock, to the vertiginous slopes of the Coteau des Treilles, Belargus intentionally opts for the hard path and forges an ambitious and iconic brand of viticulture.

Belargus’s 2021 Savennières Les Gaudrets has turned out beautifully, evoking aromas of white fruits, ripe orchard fruits, spices and spring flowers intertwined with oak hints. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, fleshy and textural, it’s enveloping and deep with a toasty, ethereal finish. A little more austere than the Clos des Ruchères, it offers good aging potential. 92 points - Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate. (2021 review).
