From vineyards clustered around the Moulin de Beaupréau at the far northern edge of the appellation, Damien sources the fruit for his Savennière Les Genêts. This is a light sandy terroir of schist and phtanite making for a more approachable style of Savennière. It is aged in 400L French oak barrels for 12 months then 4-6 months in tank before bottling.

Critic reviews
Critic reviews
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – Mainly from aeolian deposits and silts on sandy schists, the 2016 Savennières Les Genêts opens with an intense, pure and elegant, wonderfully matured bouquet of ripe and healthy Chenin fruits, pear and quince aromas intertwined with schist and floral aromas. Full-bodied, very intense and powerful yet pure and crystalline as well as salty on the palate, this Chenin reveals a remarkable drama combined with finesse and vitality and a long and tensioned, firmly structured finish with refreshing acidity and lime bitters. This is a very long and complex Chenin whose tannins are well interwoven with the crystalline acidity and lingering salinity. This powerful and structured wine should be great with zander or pan-fried Saint Jacques scallops, as Damien suggests. Tasted May 2021.
