Brendan Stater West Saumur Blanc
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Saumur is a broad appellation that immediately abuts the southern border of the more famous red-wine appellation, Saumur-Champigny. Brendans single hectare of vines comes from the lieu-dit, Les Chapaudaises. A half-kilometer from the now famous butte of Brz, on slightly elevated slope, the vineyard soil is completely composed of tuffeau limestone with calcium-rich clay and sand with a plentiful supply of seashell fossils. Arriving in Paris to teach English, Brendan caught the wine bug from a friend and soon found his way into working in a wine shop where some famous bottles littered the shelves, such as Guiberteau. As so many before him, the Brz got him hooked. You can feel it in the wines - the same sort of energy, limestone strike and purity of fruit of Chenin Blanc that Guiberteau possesses. Brendan is equally adept at red and white, creating beautifully pure examples of the two Loire favorites. |
