Domaine du Collier Saumur Blanc 2020

This is from all of his Chenin vines not in Charpentrie. Predominantly in and around the Ripaille site.  Vines aged 25 to 75 years. The 2020 vintage has added power and sapid depth to the usual brightness and levity. That it is a wine from grapes grown in stone and then aged in a stone cellar is evident - this is totally crystalline, seemingly hewn purely from the stones that lie in the ground from which it comes - floating on top as usual is the entrancing citrus and floral perfume. In 2020 there is again great freshness and clarity - it has real presence and drive the finish is chiselled in the mouth displaying cut and salinity alongside powerful tension - it finishes with the sort of gravitas to make you ponder. Mouthwatering acidity, a fine substance, a vivacious finish - there is greatness here. Andrew Guard, Importer.
