Honeyed stone fruit and dried herbs emerge from this mature Chenin, showing the textural richness that develops on Saumur's limestone. White peach and chamomile weave through a palate that's gained weight and complexity over thirteen years. The finish carries chalky minerality and lingering honeysuckle. Beautifully evolved and drinking perfectly now.

→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.
