Domaine du Collier Saumur Blanc Chenin Blanc 2013
We adore drinking Clos Rougeard as much as any Loire obsessive, but it's been especially exciting over the last few years to witness the rise of a new guard of producers in Saumur that remain mostly under-the-radar of the wider wine world. Domaine du Collier is the property of young Antoine Foucault, son of the late, great Charly Foucault of Clos Rougeard. 2/3 of his vines are especially old Chenin Blanc, with the rest planted to Cabernet Franc. These are powerful, succulent wines defined by tension and exceptional length.andnbsp; andnbsp;

Muted at first but put on weight with air. Mineral drenched, musky, ripe green tree fruit and spice, honey, some new wood influence which actually nicely refines and softens the intensity. Not losing steam and in fact still integrating

Great acidity and Chenin character, although not the most harmonious vintage for this wine.

Super clean with bright minerality. Really opens up after about a half hour and starts showing some amazing chenin character. Great stuff

Fine but not terribly exciting. Leaner/more acidic than I was expecting
