Domaine Langlois-Chateau Saumur 2016
Saumur, Loire, FranceThe domaine has been actively growing vines and producing wines from their clay/chalk soils since 1885. The chenin in this cuvee comes from Bron and St-Florent, in Saumur, was fermented cold and matured on fine lees for four months in barrel, with regular battonage. Lime sherbet leads, giving this a sharp, acerbic edge from the start - even more than chenin normally carries. Lemon/lime, white cherry, yogurt, verbena, greengage carries a chenin waxy weight (and a bump of RS) but green apple tartness and stony, tight texture. Not pretty, but distinctive. Asparagus omelette, arugula salad or sardines on toast are looking for this.Tasted: 11 July 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $32.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
