Clos Rougeard, Saumur-Champigny Breze, 2017

Type: White

Format (ml): 750

Vintage: 2017

Grapes: Chenin Blanc

The white wine from this iconic producer is often generous in style. The cooler 2017 vintage shows a typically rich, toasty nose, but the cooler 2017 vintage has resulted in palate structure that's firmer and more mineral-edged than this producer's often generous style. Concentration of honeyed melon fruit is balanced by brisk acidity and supported by savoury, mealy complexity. Long and lovely. Farmed using biodynamic principles.
