2015 Domaine des Roches Neuves Clos de l'Echalier Saumur Blanc

The 2015 Saumur Blanc L’Échelier is from a warm year, but Thierry Germain included a new parcel with a later-ripening northeastern aspect, giving a real sense of urgency. Bone-dry, taut and structured, notes of toast and honey meet apple and citrus flavors.
