Dom. Filliatreau Chateau Fouquet Blanc '20

This remarkable Saumur Blanc shines with antique gold tones and an intoxicating nose of preserved lemon, beeswax, and toasted almond. The rich palate offers flavors of baked apple, saffron, and a distinctive wet wool note that earned 92 points. Fermented in underground vats and aged 12 months in old barrels, it develops Burgundian complexity at 13.5% alcohol while maintaining Loire freshness. The finish lingers with hints of quince and flint. Pair with creamy veal dishes or aged Comté cheese to appreciate its textural depth.
