NEW! Saumur Blanc ‘Les Roueres’, Domaine des Sables Verts, Loire, France 2024
A spectacular Chenin Blanc, which gives such a strong impression of complex minerals that it’s not only appealing to wine lovers, but would be of equal interest to anyone with an interest in geology. The fruit at its core feels pure and bright, filled with sunlit energy, and it pushes through the smoky minerality with cool flavours of lime, ginger and yuzu. If you enjoy a flinty Meursault, with just the right amount of struck-match reduction, then you should find this wine immensely appealing too. 12.5% alc. Drink now-2030.
Decanter (previous vintage): “Barrel-fermented and aged 12 months on lees, showing ripe pear, juicy lemon and flinty notes. Rounded mouthfeel yet bright, with well-integrated crisp acidity and intense minerality stretching into a long, focused finish.”
