Score 88/100 · Drink 2020-2028, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Oct 2021

The 2016 Saumur L'Insolite is from silex soils and opens very intense and floral on the flinty nose. Round and creamy on the palate, this is an elegant and charmingly lush and fruity Chenin with nutty flavors in the fresh and vital finish. "The wine hasn't undergone malolactic fermentation for years because the pH so very low [3.0]," says Thierry Germain.
