Brendan Stater-West "Les Chapaudaises" Saumur Blanc 2015
92
Our Score
(8/2017) Brendan Stater-West, an American teaching in Paris, fell in love with wine in the mid-2000s and decided to change gears. His passion for Chenin Blanc lead him to the cellars of Domaine Guiberteau in Saumur. Here, Romain Guiberteau taught him how to make beautiful Chenin and, eventually encouraged him to make his own wine. This is it! Preserved lemon, baked pear, chalk, cremini and thyme flavors lead a dense palate with a subtly searing finish. A very fine effort, worthy of a couple years in the cellar!

Domaine Guiberteau "Breze" Saumur Blanc 2015
93
Our Score
(9/2018) Domain Guiberteau crafts some of the finest examples of Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc to be found anywhere. The wines have been described as having "punk rock violence", but also supreme elegance. The "Breze" bottling comes from arguably one of the best sites for Chenin Blanc in the world. Sourced from two old-vine parcels, yields are small in the best of times. This is built for the long haul, and needs some time in bottle to temper its rather aggressive youthful nature. Without a doubt, this is truly one of the great Chenins of the world!

Brendan Stater-West "Les Chapaudaises" Saumur Blanc 2016
Winemaker's Notes
"Fresh and elegant nose of citrus fruits, white fruits, minerality and slightly toasted notes. The mouthfeel gives great purity with the same flavors detected on the nose. The length is very good and the finish is one of great freshness thanks to the saline notes brought by the terroir. Taste in the next 15 years with fish, crustaceans, goat cheese or an aperitif."

Domaine de Saint-Just "Coulee de Saint-Cyr" Saumur Blanc 2014
92+
Our Score
(3/2020) Here's a beautiful, aged Chenin Blanc from Anjou in the Loire Valley. Arnaud Lambert crafts this from certified organic, 70-year old vines, then raises the wine in a combination of large and small barrels, including a small percentrage new. Packed with much material, including baked orchard and citrus fruit, lovely yellow flowers, secondary flavors of biscuit and almond butter, searing high acidity and extended minerality, this wine is very complex and satisfyingly delicious.

(2/2019) Here's a delicious bone-dry Chenin Blanc from a certified organic vineyard featuring 30+-year-old vines planted in soft limestone. Raised 50% in tank and 50% in neutral barrels, it is clean and long with subtle suggestions of botrytis, baked apple, button mushroom, honeycomb and preserved lemon. Juicy and serious with intense minerality, this high acid white is complex and classic. Drinkable now and over the next five years.
