Evelyne & Michèle de Jessey

Every year we elaborate 4, sometimes 5 different cuvées of Savennières, which reflect the different parcels (terroirs) that we have :



LES CAILLARDIERES
The wine comes from a parcel located at the top of the plateau, the underground is made of sturdy sanstone schist, but the arable land, about 30-40 cm thick, is made of sand carried up by the wind from the Loire. This parcel produces an off-dry Savennières in which the floral aromas are more expressive. It matches with casseroles ( fish, sea food, white meat) or makes a most elegant social drink.





LE CLOS DU PAPILLON
An extremely elegant dry Savennières whose originality comes from a geological spot where the complex variety of rocks produces a wine with lingering fragrance, extremely mineral, with aromas of smoked, roasted almonds, apricot, white flowers. This wine takes longer to fully express itself. While ageing, it develops voluptuous aromas of beeswax and honey.





LES VIEILLES VIGNES
A very powerful and floral wine elaborated from the 50- year-old and over vines . Only certain vitages allow it.






LA CUVEE ISA
A moëlleux ( semi-sweet ) Savennières which pairs up wonderfully with Foie gras. Lighter than a sweet wine , it also makes a very elegant social drink. Only done in very hot vintages .





LES VAULTS
A light and fruity wine made from a first " tri ". It is meant to be drunk young.
