Dusty limestone and wet chalk drive this aged Chenin, with white peach and quince emerging alongside dried herbs. The palate shows remarkable tension. Lean yet concentrated, with that characteristic 2010 backbone cutting through to a long, saline finish.

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.
