Etienne Bodet Saumur Blanc 'Les Graippeaux' '22

This Saumur Blanc glistens with a bright, pale straw color. The aromatic profile is fresh and classic for Chenin Blanc, offering notes of quince, green apple, white flowers, and a subtle waxy, honeyed nuance. The palate is crisp and vibrant, with a linear acidity that carries pure flavors of citrus and pear, underscored by a distinct chalky minerality. The finish is clean and refreshing with a pleasant, saline lift. Sourced from limestone-rich soils, it is fermented and aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its vibrant fruit character and crispness. Earning 90 points for its typicity and drinkability, it is a perfect pairing for shellfish, grilled fish, or goat cheese.
