Tasting note

The 2020 L'Alliance is so enticing and approachable. It is initially succulent but then, as is the tendency in the Savennières appellation, it's as if the wine pulls its laces tight, leaving the drinker with a clear sense of freshness, focus and direction. This lightly oxidative style offers bruised apple fruit and strudel-like spice and almond pastry.
