Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2040, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Oct 2021
Aged on the lees for three months, the 2017 Saumur Arcane offers a beautifully aromatic and relaxed bouquet of ripe, fresh, tropical fruits (pineapples) and a lovely sur lie aroma. On the palate, this is a very elegant, fresh and refined Chenin with enormous mineral freshness and salinity. It is tightly structured, very long and reveals great citrus-fruit bitterness on the finish. This is a pure, bright and airy but also intense and complex yet most of all light and tensioned as well as highly digestible Saumur Chenin. Great, no makeup but a lot of soul, vibrating freshness and fine tannins!
