Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91

"The 2022 Savennieres Roche aux Moines from Tessa Laroche at Domaine aux Moines is surprisingly fresh, considering the dry, warm conditions of the vintage. There’s a liveliness and freshness where others have struggled with heaviness. A subtle autolysis-derived pastry flavor joins ripe apple, pear and herbal notes. In this vintage, there are two bottlings of this wine: one with S02 and one without, with no distinction on the label! Tasting the two alongside each other, the no-sulfur-added approach is more open with more obvious fruit and pastry compared with a tighter, more closed expression where sulfur dioxide was added at bottling." -Vinous

What importer Polaner Selections has to say about this wine...

Vineyard
9.6 hectares of Chenin blanc grown on hillsides along the Loire River.
Soil
Schist with sandstone and clay
Viticulture
Yields are kept extremely low, usually around 30 h/h, and all work is done by hand including the harvest which occurs slowly over a few weeks (5-6 "tries" or pickings). Will be certified organic in the 2012 vintage!
Vinification
Fermented with indigenous yeasts in tank.
Aging
Aged in a combo of tank and cask (220 and 400-liter, mostly used), with usually 65-75% tank and the rest wood.

Loire Valley Wines

The Loire Valley is France’s greatest source of value for anyone looking for elegant, terroir-driven wines. Our collection celebrates the region’s great diversity, with the mineral-driven whites of Muscadet and Sancerre, the beautiful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs from villages like Vouvray and Chinon, and natural wines from everywhere in the region. Sometimes wonderfully fresh and gulpable, sometimes serious and age-worthy, the prices are always very reasonable.
