Morgat/Eric Savennières Fidès 2021

95 points Rebecca Gibb, MW (Vinous): "The 2021 Savennières Fidès is a full-bodied, dry yet sumptuous Chenin that caresses the mouth with richness and silken texture. A line of acid and schist-derived energy holds things together, providing tension and ensuring persistence and hold—as if the wine's wearing a corset. At this early stage, the oak treatment shows in its spice and vanillin characteristics, alongside ripe apple, nectarine and spiced fruit. This is a serious glass of wine. Drink 2025-2036 (Jul 2024)"

95 points Chris Kissack (Wine Doctor): "The 2021 Fidès was made to the usual recipe, with bottling in July 2023 after élevage first in barrels, then in a combination of stainless steel and stoneware jarres. The is immediately convincing on the nose, showing a mineral and reductive frame filled with elderflower, lemon peel and crushed schistose rocks, with a smoky, saline lift. The palate continues with a tense, savoury and sinewy style, the middle lithe and focused, precisely defined with polished edges, before it eases into a reductive, bitter, mineral-laden finish. A more gourmand style than 2020, and quite delicious. Top notch and very complete. The alcohol on the label is 13.5%. (Feb 2024)"
