Had the 2018. Very earthy on the nose. Good tannin and acidity. Has an earthy taste with bell pepper and a hint of red fruit. Pairs well with red meat and vegetables — 4 years ago
Fun, fresh, juicy. Fruit forward with loads of cherry and cranberry, earth, and a hint of capsicum. Cab Franc and Grolleau. Great with a slight chill. — 3 years ago

Domaine Ogereau, La Saponaire, Savennières 2021.
Organic Savennières. This is extremely impressive. Wow, what a wine!! The wine has a golden hue that could be something to be seen in an older wine. The nose is gorgeous: fresh and juicy red apple juice, honey, wax... The palate is very dry and shows a massive acid drive. There is apple, there is some wax, a great width, a very vivid mouthfeel, and an everlasting finish with wax and apple touches that goes on for ever. This is a great Savennières, I'm absolutely loving this. — 2 years ago
Vintage 2008 | how old is this wine, I asked my not completely inexperienced wife… she smelled, looked at the colour and said: 8 years. But as we know Chenin Blanc can age effortless for many years. Looking at the colour does not say much. This Savennieres is fourteen years old. In excellent condition, crisp and vivid. Multi layered smell with hay, impressions of citrus, mango, stone fruit, minerals. Very refined bitters and great balance. True to type. Lovely. Paired with dim sum and stir-fried Asian vegetables. — 3 years ago
Nose is bright cherry, lavender, strawberry, raspberry, and rose. Smooth cherry and ripe strawberry predominate the palate along with cinnamon, tart peach, and ripe apricot. Light tannin, medium alcohol, and high acid that lingers long into the finish. — 4 years ago
