What is this wine?
Domaine aux Moines’ Savennières–Roche aux Moines 2023 is a dry Chenin Blanc from one of the Loire Valley’s most historic and revered terroirs. The estate, founded in the 12th century and run today by mother-and-daughter duo Monique and Tessa Laroche, farms organically on steep schist and sandstone slopes overlooking the Loire River. The Roche aux Moines appellation is a monopole cru within Savennières, known for producing long-lived, mineral-driven wines of exceptional depth.

Why get this wine?
Domaine aux Moines is one of the benchmark producers of Savennières, crafting Chenin Blanc that combines intensity, elegance, and longevity. The 2023 vintage captures the estate’s signature precision—racy acidity, textured fruit, and an unmistakable schist minerality. This is top-tier Loire white wine with the complexity to rival great Burgundy or Riesling, yet at outstanding value for its pedigree.

What does this wine taste like?
Dry, vibrant, and complex, with layers of quince, green apple, honeycomb, and crushed stone. The palate is tense yet creamy, driven by saline minerality and a long, elegant finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Beautiful young with decanting, but best 2026–2040 as it develops smoky, honeyed depth. Pair with roasted poultry, shellfish, or aged goat cheese. Serve slightly cool.

More about Domaine Aux Moines

In Anjou, Monique Laroche and daughter Tessa tend a nearly-century-old Cabernet Franc vineyard blended with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is Loire Cabernet Franc without the fussiness—structured, direct, the kind of wine that makes sense with food and asks nothing of you but an open mind. Farm-family reliability meets age-worthy depth.
