Domaine du Collier Saumur Blanc 2018

The 2018 Saumur Blanc, which Antoine Foucault refers to as his domaine white, is a salty wine as if someone gave a generous twist of the salt shaker, but that's soils of Brézé for you. It's refined with less tension than 2017 due to the season's warmth, making it approachable from release. Intriguingly floral, with honeydew melon, a whiff of smokiness (likely from Desaux barrels) and grilled nuts, alongside a pastry note. Long and classy.
