SAVENNNIERES AOP La Croix Picot DOMAINE DE LA BERGERIE
24,50 € incl. VAT
The Domaine de la Bergerie is located in the heart of Anjou Noir. The region is so named because of its dark soils, mostly composed of a schist basement. There is also sandstone, puddingstones, clay… and many other geological nuances. The 27 hectares that make up our vineyard will therefore benefit and be enriched by this diversity. They are also exposed to a certain mildness of oceanic influence. This unique terroir allows you to explore all the facets of the estate’s grape varieties, such as Chenin, Cabernet Franc, or Pineau d’Aunis. In order to preserve and enhance the soils and the diversity of the place, the estate has been certified in organic farming since 2016.Thus, on these lands, the history of the Guégniard family has been written for several generations.

TASTING NOTES
Croix Picot 2020 retains the relief and delicacy that characterize this cuvée. You can feel the vintage effect with a roundness in the wine that testifies to the beautiful ripeness of that year. The whole is refreshed by saline notes on the finish.
We then think of clams stuffed with almond butter, to harmonize with this Savennières.
