Collier La Charpentrie 2016

Expansive and generous, with honeyed pear and dried fruit flowing across the palate. The chalk minerality cuts through beautifully, adding tension to what could otherwise feel soft. A warm-vintage Chenin that trades precision for richness, yet maintains Loire elegance through its crystalline 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.
