The New York Times wrote: "The thinking person's white wine." This dry white wine is very full-bodied and rich. Partially aged in new oak barriques (224-liter wooden wine barrels).
But what exactly makes this Savennières so good that it's a favorite of top Dutch sommeliers? Well, prepare for candied fruit, very elegant oak notes, honey, and freshness. And above all, plenty of tension and minerality, roundness, and a long, lingering finish. This Chenin Blanc is truly a top-notch wine.

Perswijn Review (16 out of 20 points): Ripe citrus fruit, bruised apple, brandy, and butter on the nose. Taste: intense, powerful, broad, good acidity, and long.

The Domaine des Deux Vallées is located in Anjou, overlooking both the Loire and Layon rivers. Hence the name Deux Vallées. They cultivate vineyards scattered around the villages of St. Aubin, Rochefort, Chaume, and Savennières.
