Saumur Clos Romans 2015Chenin Blanc

Chenin on soil with 30 centimetres of clayey sand and then limestone. Tillage with horse and natural grassing. Alcoholic fermentation in 400 and 600 litre barrels. Pneumatic pressing for 4 hours, 2 months of fermentation and maturation on the noble lees for 9 months. Hints of citrus fruits, grapefruit and lime, white flowers, then vegetal, aromatic herbs and green pepper, and finally acacia honey. The taste is consistent with the nose, still fresh and fruity, exotic, honeyed and very long.

Saumur Clos de l`Echelier Blanc 2015Chenin Blanc

From an emblematic 300-year-old clos with breathtaking views of the Loire and 6,500 vines per hectare. Harvested by hand, alcoholic fermentation in 600-litre oval barriques. Pneumatic pressing for 4 hours, 3 months of fermentation then maturation on the fine lees for nine months. Incredible nose, ripe white fruit, slightly citrus notes, white and yellow flowers then vanilla, white pepper and rose, herbaceous contours and great minerality. The taste is deep, still fresh but tending towards round, powerful and fruity. Long, mineral finish

Saumur L'Insolite 2020, Chenin Blanc

From a selection of 3 vineyards, one of which is very rich in limestone, one further south towards Anjou with a clay composition and one that is over 100 years old in Saumur. Harvested by hand in boxes. Alcoholic fermentation in 12 hl oval barrels to preserve all the minerality. Pneumatic pressing for 4 hours then fermentation for 4 months. The nose combines concentration, freshness, generosity and power and reveals subtle fruity, floral and vegetal hints. Then white-fleshed fruit, citrus, verbena and lime on the finish. In the mouth it is clean and velvety, the freshness is present and draws the contours of the material guaranteeing the aromatic identity of the flavours. Rich, long and energetic finish
