Clos Rougeard Saumur Blanc Brézé 2016

95 points Chris Kissack (Winedoctor): "The aromatics here are immediately reminiscent of pear, quince, confit apple and orange zest, with a lightly minerally lift. The palate is dominated by broad, polished and plush fruit, pure with a little minerality mirroring the nose, but it is also very substantial, with plenty of grip here. It has a nice energy at the core, sitting within rather than defining the midpalate. A wine of great confidence, with the structure and confidence to age, finishing with a long and energetic grip, great energy and style. Lovely potential here. (Jun 2019)"

94 points Jason Wilson (Vinous): "Serious complexity in this Chenin Blanc. Fresh golden apple at first, then pear, apricot jam and white pepper that carries throughout nicely. Gorgeous herbal notes on the midpalate, gliding to a long, salty, crushed stone finish. Drink: 2022-2036. (Jul 2020)"
