Loic Mahe - Savennieres Equilibre 2008

Oh boy this wine. From the unique Equilibre vineyard and aged for a number of years before release.

The vineyard is warm and dry with no top soil to speak of, just some schist rubble. The roots dig strait into the sites red and blue schist. 

So intense in its youth that it feels like the wine is drinking you. Mellows with age but still all power and complexity. Amazing wine with deep orchard fruit and spiced apple pie notes. 

Drinkable now with a decant.

Not a wine to rush. More of a wine to sit with for several hours as you contemplate the futility of existence.
