Château de Chaintres - Clos des Oratoriens blanc 2014
“Bright yellow-gold color. Generous nose with quince, apple, and elegant vegetal notes. Round on the palate, full-bodied, rich, and lively, though still a bit angular, with a subtle mineral accent, a delicious silky texture, and a persistent, lemony finish. Shows potential—we’ll wait for it to develop.” (Le Guide des Vins 2017 – Gilbert & Gaillard)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to expectations for its appellation(s))
About the estate:
The arrival of the talented Jean-Philippe Louis as technical director has breathed new life into this “sleeping beauty” of the Saumur region, where the soil is clay-limestone and the sun shines generously. The 2018 vintages herald the estate’s resurgence, with a red cuvée from old vines offering a full-bodied fruitiness. The Clos-des-Oratoriens, a white wine, needs more time to develop. Stay tuned!
