Dom. de Villargeau 2021 "Les Abeilles" Côteaux du Giennois

Fortifying the notion that 2021 is a once-in-a-generation vintage for white Loire wines, we present to you this simply stunning wine, which hails from a parcel heavy with flint-stone and home to many bees, that lend it its name. Perhaps the power of suggestion leads one to discern honey in the otherwise-classic panoply of Sauvignon aromas, but there is no debating the perfection of texture and weight in this landmark wine.
