Score 91/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate, Jun 2024
The 2020 Clos des Guichaux, derived from vines planted in 2003 on calcareous soils (called "tuffeau" in Saumur) and matured for one year on lees in used barrels, offers up a smoky, slightly toasty bouquet of citron oil, herbs, ripe orchard fruits and spices. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegantly muscular, it’s austere and tense with a gastronomic bitterness on the finish. It will offer a broad drinking window.
