Roches Neuves Saumur Blanc L'Échelier 2016

Honeyed marmalade and subtle petrol notes reveal the wine's bottle development, while Saumur's limestone backbone provides mineral structure. The palate shows bright citrus energy but lacks the concentration and depth the nose promises. Feels caught between youth and maturity.

Roches Neuves

Domaine des Roches Neuves is one of Saumur-Champigny's benchmark estates, producing structured, age-worthy Cabernet Franc from tuffeau-rich soils, with a range that spans entry-level village wine to single-parcel and old-vine cuvées of considerable depth.
