Chateau d'Epire
Savennieres Hu Boyau 2020
Formerly known as the ‘Cuvée Speciale’, the ‘Le Hu Boyeau’ has always been a firm favourite of ours, and found it to be one of the finest in Epiré’s range in terms of energy and complexity. Named after one of the domaines best vineyards, Le Hu-Boyau, one of the highest-lying vineyards in Savennieres, from where the grapes are exclusively sourced. Coming from sandstone, shale and phtanite rich soils, the southern and southern-eastern exposure of the vineyard brings incredible ripeness to the grapes, whilst the proximity to the Loire River keeps the temperatures moderate. It is fermented in stainless steel vats and then aged for 9 months in old oak and chestnut barrels. The structure of this wine allows it to age and develop for up to 15 years. This dry wine is rich, densely textured with powerful apple, tart citrus and clementine fruits coming through with a backbone of spice and creaminess from the wood and a pleasant touch of rounding honeyed sweetness. Everything is harmoniously balanced with the addition of mouth-watering acidity and a steely minerality, and the length is something else. A perfect partner to a range of appetizers and creamy fish dishes!
