Tasting notes

Pale gold in the glass, this Saumur Chenin Blanc opens with aromas of quince, yellow apple, white peach and a hint of acacia blossom, layered with chalky, wet-stone minerality. The palate is vibrant yet textured, offering flavors of ripe pear, citrus zest and subtle honeyed notes, framed by the grape's signature tension and acidity. Tuffeau limestone soils lend a saline, mineral backbone. The finish is long, clean and gently waxy, with lingering notes of lemon peel and almond.

About this wine

L'Insolite is a white Saumur from Domaine des Roches Neuves, made entirely from Chenin Blanc in the Loire Valley. Saumur sits in the middle Loire, where the limestone soils and cool river climate give Chenin its characteristic tension.

Expect orchard fruit such as apple, pear and quince, with a waxy, slightly honeyed texture and a firm line of acidity running through it. That freshness makes it a versatile bottle on board. Serve it chilled with oily fish, roast poultry, green vegetables or tofu-based dishes, or alongside a ripe Brie at the end of the meal.
