The wine
An aromatic nose of citrus and ripe pear with subtle apple blossom. Crisp and refreshing.
Savennières is the most serious dry Chenin appellation in the world, a small south-facing amphitheatre of schist above the Loire opposite Angers, and its wines are famously austere in youth. Domaine Ogereau is at Saint-Lambert-du-Lattay in the Anjou, where Emmanuel Ogereau has led the conversion to organic certification in 2019 and on to biodynamics.
The producer
Domaine Ogereau
View all Domaine Ogereau winesIn Anjou, in the heart of the Loire Valley, Domaine Ogereau is a byword for great Chenin Blanc. A family estate spanning generations, it farms schist and volcanic soils that give the wines their distinctive energy. Ogereau sits among the region most respected growers.
The domaine works organically, tending old vines with real devotion. In the cellar, restraint and patience allow the Chenin to express its full range, from taut and mineral to rich and textured. Everything is built around purity of place.
The range spans dry Anjou and Savennières whites, along with an elegant sparkling Crémant de Loire. Each bottling shows the depth and tension that make Loire Chenin so thrilling. These are wines of real character.
To pour an Ogereau wine is to taste the Loire at its most serious. Mineral, ageworthy, and quietly profound, they reward those who love Chenin Blanc in all its glory.
