Fine Wine Library Tasting Note:

The 2014 Saumur Blanc La Charpentrie is a beautifully mature Chenin Blanc that reveals the full elegance of Antoine Foucault’s understated winemaking and the singular terroir of Brézé. The nose opens with layers of preserved lemon, chamomile, and dried orchard fruit, followed by subtle notes of crushed chalk, beeswax, and a gentle oxidative nuance reminiscent of salted almonds. On the palate, the wine is silken and composed, offering a seamless balance between richness and tension. There's a quiet power beneath the surface—racy acidity and a fine mineral thread carry flavours of quince, citrus oil, and savoury herbs through to a long, chalky finish. Now a decade from vintage, the 2014 is entering a glorious drinking window, combining the textural depth of bottle age with the lifted precision that defines this remarkable site. A wine of grace, depth, and quiet persistence.

Wine AdvocateStephan Reinhardt

Bottled in November 2017, Collier's 2014 Saumur Blanc La Charpentrie is concentrated, deep and ripe on the clear nose. Intense and powerful but elegant on the palate, this is a firmly structured, dense and textured, highly complex and sustainable Chenin from 100-year-old vines. Impressive.
