Domaine Ogereau, Savennieres La Saponaire 2023

Named for the wild soapwort that perfumes the sandy hillsides of Savennières, La Saponaire is an exercise in fine-boned elegance. The 2023 vintage harmonises the airy delicacy of aeolian sands with the underlying tension of schist bedrock. Raised in a bespoke selection of sandstone amphorae and oak, the wine possesses a "sappy" fluidity that is both seamless and profoundly mineral—a sophisticated choice for those who prize aromatic complexity.
