While in Loire Valley visiting good friends, we tasted a 1966 Savennières, that came straight from his amazing collection of Loire wines.
What a delight! A nectar kept for 41 years in our friend's troglodyte wine cellar. Perfect.
Look at the color!
Savennières is a wine appelation but as often happens with wine in France, it is also the name of a village.
There are only about 140 hectares of vineyards around the village planted with 100%
of the grapes of the variety "chenin blanc".
