Château de Villeneuve Saumur "Les Cormiers" dry white 2022

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2025 (Sept 2024) : Favorite and 94/100. Les Cormiers is showing well ripe and concentrated in 2022. It perfectly embodies the dry, crisp, ripe Chenin, with a lovely structure and a striking, very mouthwatering finish. Ready to drink now and within the next ten years, even longer.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Y. Castaing, June 2024). 92/100. The 2022 Saumur Les Cormiers, crafted from Chenin Blanc, exhales a delicate, lively bouquet of pear, white flowers, menthol, spices and spring flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, tense, pure and easy palate that's lively and charmingly demonstrative, concluding with a tense, mouthwatering and ethereal finish. This is an excellent rendition of one of Saumur's finest terroirs for dry white wines. Drink date: 2024-2034.
