Domaine du Collier, Saumur Blanc, La Charpentrie, Loire, France, 2021
Founded in 1999 by Antoine Foucault, Domaine du Collier is a revered estate in the Loire Valley known for its profound expressions of Chenin Blanc. The "La Charpentrie" cuvée is sourced from the legendary limestone and clay hillsides of Brézé, where century-old vines thrive in poor, stony soils. Farmed organically and harvested by hand, the grapes undergo wild yeast fermentation and extended aging in a cold underground cellar without racking. The resulting wine is intensely salty and mineral, delivering powerful notes of orchard fruit and white flowers with an ethereal, long-lasting finish. Varietal: Chenin Blanc Appellation: Saumur, Loire Valley, France Farming: Organic Style: White. Dry, intense and mineral-driven
