Croix Picot

2012 Savennieres Chenin Blanc

Domaine Fl Croix Picot 2012 Chenin Blanc from the renowned Savennieres region is a delightful expression of this versatile varietal. The wine exhibits a light to medium body, offering a smooth mouthfeel that balances beautifully with its medium acidity, creating a refreshing and vibrant profile. On the palate, the fruit intensity is prominent, presenting enticing notes of ripe stone fruit, such as peach and apricot, along with hints of citrus and honey, which are characteristic of Chenin Blanc. This wine is bone dry, allowing the natural flavors to shine without any residual sweetness, while the delicately structured finish showcases subtle mineral undertones, making it a remarkable choice for those seeking a sophisticated white wine experience. Savennieres is celebrated for producing Chenin Blanc wines of great complexity and depth, and this vintage is no exception, exuding character and elegance with every sip.

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
