Château Soucherie Description
This 1.8 hectare vineyard in the heart of the Savennieres district on the northern side of the Loire is planted exclusively to Chenin Blanc and produces a classic version of this entrancing appellation. Soucherie's Savennières is defined by its depth and complexity rather than an over-the-top, immediate exuberance. Notes of verbena and chamomile, lanolin, and powdered rocks act as a translation of the volcanic and schistous soils that harbor the head-trained vines that produce this wine.
Vinous: 89 Points
Subtle and aromatic on the nose, the 2018 Clos des Perrières shows white flowers and apple combining with a distinct oak-derived note on first sniff. There's a good sense of harmony, focus and roundness on the mid-palate. Fermented in 500-liter barrels, the wine stays on lees with no racking, imparting an almondy flavor. Firm, citrusy acidity couples with grainy phenolics on the finish, detracting slightly from the conclusion and giving a drying edge.
