2015 Thierry Germain Saumur Blanc Clos L'Echelier (Domaine de Roches Neuves)
All wines stored at 55° and 70% humidity
Clos L'Echelier comes from one hectare in Dampierre-sur-Loire. The vineyard is contained by an ancient stone wall built 300 years ago. These old vines express wonderful aromatics, body, and concentration. The 2015 bottling has aromas of fresh lemon balm, the wine starting round and soft with yellow fruit and honeycomb. Its powerful acidity then kicks up, streamlining the wine with pressing energy.
