2021 Domaine des Roches Neuves l'Échelier

Sale price $55.00 | In Stock Ships from our French cellar (Delivery in 4-10 days) | Drink or Cellar

The 2021 L'Échelier Blanc is a tightly wound, crystalline Chenin Blanc showcasing Saumur’s chalky terroir through Thierry Germain’s biodynamic lens. Cool-climate restraint defines this vintage, offering green apple, citrus pith, and crushed stone with a razor-sharp acidic line and striking purity. Long, chiseled, and immensely age-worthy, this is a cerebral white with mineral energy.

The 2021 Saumur L'Échelier offers up an exotic, ripe bouquet of lemon oil, spices and ripe orchard fruits intertwined with a flinty-driven character. Medium to full-bodied, tense and straight, it’s satiny and ample with a rich crystalline core of fruit and an ethereal, vertical finish with chalky dry extracts. pH: 3.02; no malolactic fermentation.

Delicate Focus in Saumur

A cool, wet spring and frost in April sharply reduced yields in 2021, particularly for early-budding varieties like Chenin Blanc. Summer was relatively mild, favoring freshness and low alcohol levels, with the tuffeau soils of L'Échelier providing critical ripening support. Despite challenges, the vintage produced whites of finesse, bright acidity, and fine mineral expression.
