Always an incredible wine, this is produced from an old vine parcel (>100 years) in the lieu-dit of 'La Charpentrie' in Brézé. Deeper and more sombre than the wine above always with a fine precision. Thrilling, complex scents of lime, flowers and pineapple give way brightly citric, concentrated palate, underpinned by chalky, mineral elements. This has more power and tension than the Saumur Blanc (if that is even possible!) - it is simply a wine for the ages. This rare bottling is one of the great white wines of France

The 2021 Saumur Blanc La Charpentrie is one of the white wines of the vintage in Saumur, offering up aromas of lemon oil, spices, hazelnuts, honey, herbs and ripe orchard fruits. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, it’s crystalline, seamless and perfectly iodine, framed with a fleshy core of fruit and highlighted by the vintage’s signature tension. The saline, iodine finish is gorgeous. Kudos!
