Robert Parker Wine Advocate Yohan Castaing - 13 Jun 24
Fresh and wonderfully minty, the 2018 Saumur Blanc Clos Romans exhibits aromas of spring flowers, ripe orchard fruits, crushed stones and spices. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and charming, rich and concentrated, the chalky texture leads the way to a long, mineral finish. It will take some time for this racy thoroughbred to hit its stride.

The 2018 Saumur Blanc Clos Romans comes from very dense tuffeau soil and was aged for 6 to 8 months in 5-hectoliter barrels. The nose is tropical and floral – mango and orange blossom — with an attractive wooliness. Full-bodied, but fresh and light on its feet. Flavors of tangerine and rosewater develop with hints of crush shell through to the long mineral finish.
