Clos Rougeard Saumur Breze 2016

Breze is probably the best known white wine from the Saumur region. This cuvee comes from a plot of Chenin Blanc of 1.5 hectares, on the terroir of Limestone Grand Cru from Breze. A very, very rare and organic white planted with 80 years old chenin blanc vines, grown on a 1 hectare calcareous soil and rated 93 points by Robert Parker. It is often hailed as one of France’s greatest white wines, with the ability to rival the Grand Crus of Burgundy. Incredibly vivacious, this is a lively wine with never-ending intensity. A dry white, with a beautiful light yellow colour and aromas of grilled and candied yellow fruits. The palate is frank, ample, elegant refreshing and structured by some refined woody notes, more candied white and yellow fruit and lots of chalky minerality that goes on and on. Excellent wine with an incredible persistence and length.
