Francine & Olivier Savary, Chablis "Vieilles Vignes" Burgundy, France, 2019

Overview of the Wine
We have been working with this domaine for many years now and the quality still continues to shine through in each vintage. Francine and Olivier Savary have been running the domaine since 1984, producing classic Chablis from old vines on great vineyard sites. The four Chablis cuvées that we work with include a village Chablis, a Chablis Sélection Vieilles Vignes from 35-year-old vines, and one each from renowned Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards: Fourchaume and Vaudésir respectively. All wines demonstrate the typical Chablis crunchy green apple and tart citrus fruit flavours, combined with a wonderful chalky minerality for which Chablis is so revered, and that we have all grown to know and love.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
There is no need to pull out a pickax. Savary’s VV bottling is the ultimate introduction to this magical combination: Chardonnay grown in Kimmeridgian limestone and a properly dosed élevage in wood. The electricity and minerality imparted by the soil are balanced by a buttery creaminess that is heavenly.
