Sables & Schistes

Savennieres 100% Chenin Blanc

The Loic Mahe Sables & Schistes is a captivating expression of Chenin Blanc hailing from the esteemed Savennieres region. This wine radiates with a vivid, straw-yellow hue, revealing intricate layers of aromatic complexity. On the nose, one immediately encounters enticing notes of ripe apple, quince, and honeysuckle, seamlessly intertwined with subtle hints of wet stone and white flowers. On the palate, this Chenin Blanc exhibits a gracefully balanced, full body that complements its bright, lively acidity. The fruit intensity is notable, with flavors of persimmon, lemon zest, and pear elegantly unfolding, each sip revealing more depth and refinement. This vibrant wine culminates in a mouthwatering finish, leaving a lingering impression of crushed rocks and a whisper of minerality, making it an exquisite companion to seafood dishes or goat cheese. The Loic Mahe Sables & Schistes stands as a testament to the unique terroir of Savennieres, offering both sophistication and pleasure to those who savor its nuances.

France

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.
