Belargus 2018 Savennieres "Gaudrets", Loire Valley, France

"The 2018 Savennieres Les Gaudrets opens with a clear, bright and lifted delicately fruity bouquet intermingled with notes of crushed stones, white flowers and citrus fruits. Also, the stony aromas and not the fruity ones intensify with aeration and intermingle with the delicare, rather bright fruit aromas, (mirabelles). The enveloping palate is silky, refined and very elegant, less less powerful and tannic than the Anjou Noir but carried by a beautiful acidity and refined and balanced, with an intense iodine and spectacularly long and also tannic-structured finish. This is a delicate and very elegant Savennieres that already drinks very well, but it can be aged fro up to two decades, maybe longer." --Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
