Collier Saumur Blanc 2020

If Chenin Blanc had a grand cru whisperer, it would be Antoine Foucault. From the hallowed limestone soils of Brézé, Charpentrie comes from vines over a century old—roots deep, yields tiny, quality immense. This isn’t your average white: it’s slow-crafted over 2–3 years in the cold, cathedral-like cellar of Clos Rougeard, with minimal intervention and maximum patience. The wine? Laser-focused and layered—think citrus oil, crushed stone, and salty beeswax, wrapped in a fine, chalky tension that unfolds with grace over time. It’s rich without weight, structured yet whisper-light. A bottle that speaks softly… and carries serious complexity.
