WineSaint
Gorgeous aromatic lift of white peach, dried herbs and chalk dust. The palate shows impressive concentration without heaviness. Apple and quince flavors wrapped in slate minerality. Twenty years have brought textural richness while preserving that distinctive Loire tension. Finishes with compelling persistence and saline edge.

→Antoine and Charlotte Collier make some of Saumur's most compelling Chenin Blancs from the tuffeau-rich slopes around Varrains, with La Charpentrie standing as one of the appellation's benchmark single-vineyard whites.
