Vinous Rebecca Gibb - 16 Jul 24
The 2018 Saumur Blanc L’Échelier is dry, round, nutty and tropical. It was a very warm vintage, giving richness and ripe pineapple character. A racy acidity holds this wine together like tight reins. There's a contrast here between that tropicality and the zingy, crunchy acidity, which messes with your head.
