Domaine Sauveroy Clos des Sables Anjou Chenin Blanc

This charming 28-hectare family domaine sits atop a sandy, stony hill overlooking the Layon River, just 10km south of the Loire and the renowned Savennières appellation. Now certified organic, the estate is in the hands of Quentin Cailleau, the third generation of the Cailleau family. This is prime Chenin Blanc country, and their Clos des Sables vineyard produces one of the domaine’s most emblematic expressions of the variety.

Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo natural fermentation in a mix of casks and barrels, then rest on lees for 14 months, enhancing richness and complexity.

This dry Chenin Blanc is beautifully textured and exotically perfumed, with layers of pineapple, peach, and apricot lending both opulence and depth. The palate feels generous yet finely balanced, thanks to a bright, refreshing acidity that lifts the wine and carries it to a salty, mineral-driven finish. Uncomplicated yet immensely satisfying, it’s a pure, expressive Chenin offering remarkable pleasure and exceptional value.
