Tasting Notes

This Saumur-Champigny is from old vines near his house in Saumoussay, I am so pleased to see that he has been able to produce one as land is incredibly tightly held, apparently you can't buy vines here anymore, you have to swap. This is silken and glows with perfumed and joyous dark fruits and flowers. The carnal depth is juxtaposed to an incredible purity. This is a beauty for the cellar. - Importer Note

About the Producer
Additional Information

While the reputation of Clos Rougeard was built primarily on age-worthy Cabernet Francs from Saumur-Champigny, the identity of Domaine du Collier is rooted in the grand whites of Chenin Blanc from the limestone-rich hillsides of Brézé in neighboring Saumur.Two-thirds of the estate is planted to Chenin, most of which are old vines and some approaching 100 years of age. The remaining third is planted to Cabernet Franc in the important lieu-dits of 'La Ripaille' and 'La Charpentrie'.

Antoine practices Bio dynamics and the harvest is manual with strict sorting carried out in the vineyards. In his deep cellar, Antoine is very observant but lets nature take it's course, he uses a very modest dose of sulfur before the bottling.The wines are aged in a combination of seasoned barrels and foudre for anywhere between 24 and 36 months before release. The cellar is actually part of Clos Rougeard which is renowned for being very cold and this protects the wines in élevage and I think goes some way to explaining the glacial development of the wines in bottle.
