This one-off cuvée stems from the black frost that devastated Saumur in 2019. Clos de l'Écotard harvested only a third of their normal crop in 2019, with Le Haie Nardin yielding just 19 hectolitres of juice. So, to compensate his losses, Chevré “rolled together” this parcel with the fruit from his vines in Les Quarts-Saint-Vincent, a parcel of Chenin on clay/limestone that in normal years goes to make the domaine’s Saumur mousseux.

Reviews

“The 2019 Saumur Blanc L'Enroulée is a fascinating, pure, fresh and flinty (yet still slightly untamed) Saumur with precision and definition... this is a full-bodied and elegant, very intense and textural Chenin with ripe fruit and concentrated, finely tannic juiciness but also stimulating purity and lemony freshness on the finish. Still a bit edgy but also refined and full of tension, this is one of the finest Saumur Blancs I have tasted from this vintage.”
