The Story
Loïc Mahé’s Sables & Schistes 2022 is a precise, mineral-driven Chenin Blanc from Savennières, France, shaped by schist-rich soils and careful, low-intervention winemaking. Aromas of citrus and white-fleshed fruit are layered with subtle florals and a distinct stony character.
The palate is structured and linear, with a saline edge and bright acidity bringing tension and length. Naturally fermented over an extended period and handled with minimal additions, the wine carries both purity and quiet intensity.
Best decanted before serving, this is a serious, food-focused white. Pair with raw fish, creamy seafood or white meats, with the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 8–10 years.
