Incredible. A little VA on the nose when opened but it blew off in 10 minutes. Pure chenin.

Decanted and showing a seductively sour and vibrant nose. The red and black fruit is dense. The aromatics are exciting. Med + intensity and nice length. This wine will evolve well. #domaineducollier #saumur #saumurrouge #loirevalley #ctbucklinwine

No fruit, but not intense minerality either. Lovely balance.

Mineral, salty, intense yet delicate. No greeness. Super fine tannins.
