2016. Capsicum and chalk. Quite a hit of new oak that integrates with aeration. A big, structured wine for the vintage. Should have quite a long life. #châteaudebrézé #saumur #cabernetfranc — 7 years ago

An old friend who aged faster than me. Stubbornly closed aromatically with the faintest dark fruit, spearmint, and tobacco peeking through. Bright cranberry and black cherry hit up-front with a hint of earthy leather and tobacco on the thin but lingeringly tangy finish. Dregs show the fruit density and green peppercorn that this wine once had. A few years past prime, but still pleasant and a nice pair for a beef tenderloin. #saumur #cabernetfranc #loire — 8 years ago

Fruit and flower power. Soft attack and good intensity with a long finish. Very #bierzo and at the same time with hints of a #Saumur #alvaropalacios very nice — 10 years ago

taut and mineral, a Saumur blanc this good is a rarity. lemon spritzed golden delicious apples abound & the acidity is screaming. #cheninigans #saumur #cheninblanc — 11 years ago

How could we resist trying what @Rajat Parr calls the Montrachet of Chenin? Regal indeed, the Château is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and this cuvée is luscious with classic quince flavors, lanolin silkiness and a neverending finish that showcases the Loire's celebrated tuffeau limestone soil.

Vintage 2013 - #cheninblanc from vignes that are 46 years old on argile calcaire terroir. “fermentation ét elevage 9 mois en demi-muds” I love the wines of this producer that works very secure and passionated. This white #Saumur is true to type chenin, it does not charm you at once. Minerals, citrus and pear. Beautiful butter in taste, but also repulsive. A lovely play to discover its qualities, sip by sip 🙃 — 8 years ago

A version 4 years younger that is pure fruit, delicate as the 2001 but maybe less developed, less complex. Nothing wrong with that, though 😸. Apparently the winemaker, Monsieur Papin, is called "the poet of Chenin Blanc" by the revered Andrew Jefford and if he said so my only aim is to look for more Papins to corroborate through a field research. Excellent! #cheninblanc #loire #botrytis #sweetwine #noblerot #anjou #saumur #beaulieu — 10 years ago

Decanted and showing a seductively sour and vibrant nose. The red and black fruit is dense. The aromatics are exciting. Med + intensity and nice length. This wine will evolve well. #domaineducollier #saumur #saumurrouge #loirevalley #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago

Well, I guess it should come as no surprise, but Guiberteau’s rosé is equally as delicious as any of his other wines. Living legend.

Vintage 2015 - By jove! What a tremendous good #saumur from #cabernetfranc. Só smooth and elegant it drinks like lemonade. Wagonloads red fruit in smell, hint of spices. Lots of finesse. Either this plot ‘Les Cormiers’ is excellent or Silvain Dittière is a magician. Probably both. #loirefunk @delectable this is ‘Les Cormiers’ — 8 years ago

A mildly amber colour that makes me think of shrivelled grapes covered in mold. Too ethereal (light) to be a sweet wine, therefore I'd have it as an aperitif too. Apricots and honey and orange marmalade and walnuts and marzipan, tangy aftertaste. Not a cultural milestone like a Sauternes or a Tokaji but excellent in its own league. #cheninlikeadiamond #cheninblanc #loire #botrytis #sweetwine #noblerot #anjou #saumur #beaulieu — 10 years ago

what a delightful oddity. when it comes to age worthy whites, Saumur Blanc is rarely mentioned. aroma of cheese rind on opening; shutdown at first, gradually unfurling white pepper, lightly oxidized golden delicious apple, beeswax, lanolin, and grated horseradish. oh and the acidity gave me life.
