Domaine Loic Mahé 2016 Savennieres Les Fougeraies
Tasting Note
Grown on the sandier soils, the 2016 Lies Fougeraies was produced following the same natural principle and aged 18 months before bottling, including 12 months in oak. More exotic on the palate than the Sables & Shist. Andreas Larsson, the 2007 World’s Best Sommelier writes –
” Bright medium deep golden colour. Intense and pure aromas sharing both earthy and stony notes with chestnut, truffle, crushed nuts and flamboyant yellow fruit with confit de citron, apricot and grilled pineapple, there´s no noticeable oak but a texture that might come from oak élevage, well-built with fine extract, good flavour intensity and a very long finish.”
