About this Item
Domaine des Roches Neuves Clos Romans Saumur Blanc 2014
2 (1 x 2) 750ml
Thierry's Saumur Blancs are bone-dry, high-acid, mineral Chenin Blancs that drink like Chablis young and take on weight slowly over time. From newer plantings in an ancient, walled vineyard that dates back to the 9th century.

Critics Ratings
'Fermented and aged for ten months in 400-liter oak barrels, the 2014 Clos Romans is a remarkably pure, dense, fresh and chalky Chenin Blanc full of tension and character. The wine is concentrated, aromatic and complex, but also lean, very pure and salty on the palate; surely a wine for advanced wine lovers who love the iodine flavor of the ocean and oysters, and do not care about fruit and charming roundness. Provided with an almost austere mineral grip, the Clos Romans finishes with an enormous freshness, salinity and density, but no richness. The aftertaste is salty and delivers orange flavors and a lot of grip.' - Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Oct 2016)
