Damien Laureau Savennieres Les Genets 2016 verdejo with a creative profileFrom vineyards clustered around the Moulin de Beauprau at the far northern edge of the appellation, Damien sources the fruit for his Savennire Les Gents. This is a light sandy terroir of schist and phtanite making for a more approachable style of Savennire. It is aged in 400L French oak barrels for 12 months then 4 6 months in tank before bottling.
