The Saumur 2016 vintage is considered divine, receiving a score of 4.6/5. The year was marked by complex weather conditions, with a cool, wet spring followed by a dry summer. While mildew severely affected the vines, the late harvest, starting only on October 10th, allowed for full grape maturation, resulting in wines of great richness. The dry whites from Saumur 2016 stand out for their freshness, liveliness, and balanced texture, offering delicate fruity and floral aromas. This vintage presents beautiful intensity and a harmonious structure, with a sustained acidity that gives it excellent aging potential. Compared to other Loire appellations, Saumur 2016 proves particularly refined and elegant, with wines that combine complexity and finesse, making them appealing to connoisseurs.
