Tasting Note

The Saumur Blanc is produced from 100% Chenin Blanc that grow in siliceous-limestone soils. Vinification methods include the settling of the must “debourbage” which concentrates the flavors, and extended contact with the lies to enrich the wine. There is no malolactic fermentation resulting in a wine that offers springtime aromas and a refreshing palate, with light stony minerality and lemon rind. Clean and bright, simply fantastic with scallops, roast chicken, or grilled whole fish.
