2020 Domaine du Collier Saumur Blanc, Loire, France
Like father like son: Antoine Foucault, son of the late, great Rougeard’s Charly Foucault of Clos Rougeard (the most famous domaine in all the Loire), may be every bit the magician his dad was. This is extremely old-vine, vibrant Chenin Blanc. This vintage produced a powerful, succulent wine defined by tension and an incredibly long finish. The focus here is unmistakable minerality, but the winemaker doesn't let you forget an elegance and richness that can only come from the limestone hillsides of Brézé. This is a truly brilliant, hard-to-find Grand Cru-esque expression of one of our favorite grapes.
