There's a richness to the 2020 Saumur Blanc L’Échelier that reflects the dry, warm conditions of the vintage. Ripe and tropical yet saline with notes of almond meal, it’s already beginning to develop. The 2020 rampages to retain its freshness despite the exotic fruit.

The 2020 Clos de l'Echelier is a focused style of wine hailing from limestone that has a sense of tenderness through the mid-palate, while the sinew moves forward incessantly along the palate. It has a fine sense of spice and fruit-led fragrance on the long length. Very convincing.
