Tasting Notes for Tony Bornard Savagnin Oeuf 2018
Whilst we have not yet tried Savagnin Oeuf 2018, we hear it has notes of vibrant citrus zest, subtle white flowers, and a hint of dried herbs on the nose. The palate is said to be fresh and lively with flavors of green apple, a touch of almond, and a mineral-driven, saline finish that lingers elegantly.
We expect some bold tannic action with its 1 month of skin contact and 14% weight, so an orange wine likely best suited for food
