Saumur Blanc Les Cormiers, 2020

Rich enough for a Chardonnay drinker, but it finishes salty and fresh instead of buttery - Loire Chenin from the family's best walled vineyard on white limestone.

A dry Chenin Blanc from a single walled vineyard of clay over white limestone, above the Loire at Souzay-Champigny. White flowers, citrus and tropical fruit over a streak of honey, with real weight in the mouth from ten months resting on its yeast. It finishes long and salty rather than soft. The Chevallier family has farmed here organically for three decades and only makes this wine in years that deserve it.
