Savennières Bellevue

Second time tasting this blind (first was almost three years ago) and once again I couldn't place it - kept reaching for some interesting Spanish white. Beautiful oxidative character with a pleasant saline thread. Initially reads sweeter, but then the acidity comes back and pulls everything together. Bruised apple, bakery, chalk, and citrus. Flint and chalk minerality. Everything is nicely integrated and cohesive. Chenin Blanc hiding in plain sight.
