Domaine de Saumarez - S' Blanc 2020
90/100
RVF
This Languedoc white, made from Grenache and Marsanne with a touch of Roussanne, lives up to all its promises. Perfectly balanced, it oscillates between fruity aromas of pear and candied citrus, delicate floral notes of honeysuckle, mild spices, and finally a crystalline finish. Generous, subtle, and elegant ! An ideal white wine for summer meals and to pair with your grilled fish!

About the estate:
Liz Williamson is from New Zealand and Robin is English.

About the estate:
Robin Williamson is English, and Liz is from New Zealand. In 2004, they found this vineyard in the Grès de Montpellier region to start their new life as winemakers. The estate quickly earned organic certification, and the diversity of its wines—sparkling, white, and red—is truly delightful! They have expanded the estate’s acreage from 6.5 hectares when they first settled here to 14 hectares today. We are delighted to welcome them here.
