Château de Fosse-Seche Arcane Saumur Chenin Blanc 2016

$27.95

The 2016 Saumur Blanc “Arcane” from Cha^teau de Fosse-Se´che is an outstanding wine by any measure, with the complex and very precise bouquet offering up scents of sweet quince, a bit of apple, chalky soil tones, dried flowers, a hint of lanolin, fresh almond and incipient notes of the honeycomb to arrive with further bottle age. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and rock solid at the core, with outstanding cut and grip, lovely complexity and balance and a very, very long, racy and stellar finish. This is an extraordinary bottle of dry chenin blanc in the making. It is approachable today, but really deserves to be aged for four to six years and let its secondary layers of complexity come to the surface. Great juice... John Gilman, A View from the Cellar

Really amazing White from the Loire. Acidity that softly sparkled, and rich, mellow fruit expression with length. A Weygandt wine club selection. Gotta get more.
