93 Points From Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous

"The 2020 Savennieres from the young and energetic Vanessa Cherruau provides purity, focus and concentration. It has the forceful acidity and energy of this schistous appellation, but its curves are rounded by fermentation, maturation in barrel and a year on lees. Tension abounds as this wine draws out on the long, floral and pastry-like finish. It's also really lovely to see a 2020 with just 12.5% alcohol, as there are too many Chenins from the vintage that have alcoholic heat, which detracts from their harmony."

 

A relatively new winery on everyone's radar, Château de Plaisance is run by the switched-on, amiable Vanessa Cherruau. Co-owner and winemaker of the estate, she moved with her family to Angers at age 17. After trying her hand at a career in journalism, she fell in love with wine. With an investor, Cherruau purchased this biodynamic estate in the Chaume appellation. The area has historically been known for its sweet whites, but Cherruau is one of an increasing number of growers producing dry wine on the Chaume hill. She'll often be seen sporting her 'Chaume Must Go On' t-shirts. From her first vintage, 2019, the wines show purity and clarity. There's intensity and balance across the range from the Anjou Blanc to the powerful, sophisticated Zerzilles cuvée.
