"The 2022 Savennières Roche aux Moines from Tessa Laroche at Domaine aux Moines is surprisingly fresh, considering the dry, warm conditions of the vintage. There's a liveliness and freshness where others have struggled with heaviness. A subtle autolysis-derived pastry flavor joins ripe apple, pear and herbal notes. In this vintage, there are two bottlings of this wine: one with SO2 and one without, with no distinction on the label! Tasting the two alongside each other, the no-sulfur-added approach is more open with more obvious fruit and pastry compared with a tighter, more closed expression where sulfur dioxide was added at bottling."
