Loïc Mahé Estate - Les Fougeraies - Savennières 2019
Domaine Loïc Mahé is located in Savennières, in the Loire Valley. The first vines were planted in 2000. Subsequently, some promising plots were gradually taken over, while others had to be abandoned following the successive spring frosts of 2016 and 2017. Loïc Mahé now cultivates 4.5 hectares of certified organic vines and also operates a wine trading business . As part of this trading activity, he offers vintages produced in collaboration with other trusted organic or biodynamic winegrowers.
Les Fougeraies is made from Loïc Mahé's vines located in Savennières. The Chenin Blanc is grown on a terroir of windblown sand. After direct pressing, vinification is carried out in oak barrels with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels and 6 months in sandstone amphorae .
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
"Les Fougeraies 2019 expresses the solar power of the vintage with the mineral elegance of windblown sand. Ripe quince, saline tension, dense but lively texture. A white wine with character, firmly anchored in its appellation."
