Château de Villeneuve, Saumur, Chenin Blanc

WHY WE LOVE THIS WINE

The Saumur comes from hand-harvested Chenin Blanc grapes grown on chalky slopes surrounding Saumur. Ripe white fruits with hints of toast on the nose, the palate opens with pear, quince and continues with a fresh mineral grip and moves to a dry, lingering finish.
