2018 Domaine du Collier, Saumur Blanc

Domaine du Collier is located in the commune of Brézé within the Loire Valley, established in 1999 by Antoine Foucault following his experience at the renowned Clos Rougeard. This wine is made from Chenin Blanc, sourced from mature vines aged between 25 and 75 years that are rooted in clay and limestone soils. In the glass, it displays a distinct mineral character alongside notes of yellow apple, honeycomb, and white flowers, held together by a structured, persistent texture. The 2018 vintage provided favorable growing conditions, contributing a rich, fleshy concentration that balances the wine's natural, high-toned acidity. This bottle remains a compelling option for those looking to experience a precise, terroir-driven white, offering immediate interest and enough depth to evolve further in the cellar.
