* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Savennières is a new vineyard acquisition for Jo Pithon, with vines planted on 2.5 acres in 2000. It is properly steely, but shows also richness and intense concentration; an impressive start for a vineyard that will be worth watching as the vines age.

Smooth and elegant with the right Chenin minerality and acidity. There are flavors of kiwi and white currants laced through with vanilla and an intensely refreshing acidity.

Intensely mineral, this is the finest of Jo Pithon’s range of single-vineyard dry Anjou wines. It is packed with powerful green fruits lending acidity; there is a touch of wood, but this is more about fruit. To finish, there is ripe, but very dry, structure.

A blend of wines from 4 different vineyards to make a wine that is partly botrytised, but has a fresh character, along with raisin flavors. Crisp acidity partners the apricots. Drink with food or as an apéritif.

The Quarts de Chaume, the four fingers of land that rise above the Layon Valley, are one of the pinnacles of sweet wines in the Loire. Showing botrytis and layers of dryness over the honey and peach jelly flavors, but also has great freshness. The aftertaste just lasts.

One of a range of three single-vineyard dry wines from Jo Pithon, this is the firmest, needing long aging as the Chenin develops its secondary flavors. For the moment, it’s very dry and closed down, with green fruits, but dominated by structure. Wait 5 years.
