In the glass
Aroma: white flowers
Palate: citrus, sea salt
The domaine's one openly topped-up cuvee, 100 percent Savagnin off the white marl of the Chainai lieu-dit and kept a year in refilled cask. Vandelle records a white-flower nose and an iodine, powerful palate with citrus notes, none of the nutty veil character of its other Savagnins. Served at 10 to 12 degrees.
