The Saumur 2020 vintage is divine, offering wines of great finesse and beautiful complexity. The gentle climate, with temperatures above the annual average and normal rainfall, favored early ripening of the grapes, particularly Chenin Blanc, which shines for its tension and aging potential. The whites of Saumur 2020 are characterized by remarkable liveliness and marked minerality, while offering distinct fruity and floral aromas, with notes of apple, pear, magnolia, and linden. This year, the Chenin grape shows a beautiful balance between freshness and roundness, especially for spring cuvées, while the wines meant for aging, often fermented in barrels, display aromas of ripe fruits like apricot and peach, while remaining fresh. Compared to other Loire appellations, Saumur 2020 stands out for its great elegance, earning a rating of 4.375/5.
