Domaine Guiberteau

Clos de Guichaux Saumur Chenin Blanc 2014

Super dry, crisp and precise. White flowers and lemon zest on the nose. Palate incorporates some nuttiness and salinity, and maybe a hint of stone fruits. Could easily be mistaken for a Chablis. — 9 years ago

I jad given up after the 2004, but will revisit, you must know I used to like them so much I even went there to visit...fyi I am not the only person who thinks they had problems starting around 2004. I will trust you that things have changed..or we maybe disagree on their wines a bit ?

Château Yvonne

Saumur Chenin Blanc 2010

The best bottle of this vintage I’ve had. Was less wooly and I had no fears of it being too old. Gorgeous kinda toned down gewurz profile. And a very elegant texture. — 6 years ago

Château de Fosse-Seche

Eolithe Saumur Cabernet Franc 2015

Enjoyed this 95 CF 5 CS blend from Saumur. Classic mineral backbone was present, just enough punch, but the best was its rounded and elegant texture that manifested on the palate. Not devoid of character, not sterile by any means, but just a classic Loire CF that decided to dress up for the evening and showed well. Clean, layered, downright drinkable — 7 years ago

Agnès et René Mosse

Anjou Chenin Blanc

Funky nose with hints of Jura-like oxidation, ripe pineapple, honey and orange blossom. Touch of sweetness up front and a long finish. — 10 years ago

Château de Brézé

Clos David Saumur Blanc Chenin Blanc 2014

Wow... this was outstanding. A floral bouquet + honeycomb + chalk left out in the rain... And I haven’t even got to the tingly, acidic grace note yet. A wonderful complement to grilled halibut with lemon and asparagus. — 6 years ago

"L'île Quatre Sous" Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc 2015

Decent amount of funk on opening, which blew off after an hour. Bright fruit, mild tannins and a blast of herbs. Everything I want from a Cab Franc. — 8 years ago

I had to send a bottle out because it was floral. "But Madame, it is called Fleur de Whatever, you ordered it"
You are absolutely right, I'm guilty, but bring me a totally new one please.
