In the glass
Aroma: walnut, spice
Palate: walnut, spice, salt
The estate is blunt about this one: vinified in its original form, Savagnin is a wine you either adore or reject. Several years under the veil with no topping up give what the domaine calls incomparable heady notes of walnut and spice for a white wine.
What it pairs with

Poultry with cream and morels

Curry and Thai dishes
