Vintage 2019 | Lightfooted and frivolous Cabernet Franc. This is the type of Saumur Champagne that became very popular in bistros in Paris. Strawberry and cherrie nose. Drinks easy, yes like lemonade. | Paired with a roastbeef and backed potatoes. — 4 years ago

Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc 2017

Seductive aromatics of ripe damson plums and black currants, with a floral accent (violets?) and some pencil shavings and green peppers. A touch of cloves, too. Quite uplifting and elegant. On the palate this shows nice tension between the great purity of fruit paired with juicy acidity and the firm tannins & earthy undertones. No greenness nor astringency so often found in Loire Cab Francs. A lovely wine. — 6 years ago

Exmuros Terre de Brézé Saumur Chenin Blanc

Vintage 2019 | I know... infanticide, but I wanted to try this Chenin Blanc because I was curious. It would be no punishment only to smell this wine... so multi-layered: lime, white peach, pear, vague impression of honey, saline, very lovely and broad. The taste has a high acidity and lots of potential. Razorsharp. Very nice wine from old vines, in transition to bio. | Paired with with asparagus, egg and ham, the classic combination. — 5 years ago

Domaine des Chaintres Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2014

An unusually golden-hued Sancerre. Tons of steely minerality accents the delightfully acidic stone and citrus fruit. — 8 years ago
