Score 95/100 · Drink 2024-2039, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, May 2024
The 2019 Saumur Blanc L’Échelier is dense, concentrated and ripe yet harnessed, with excellent power and purity coursing through its veins. It's salty and tangy, bone-dry and firm. The 2019 is my favorite vintage of the past decade.

The 2019 Saumur L'Échelier opens with an aromatic, openly fruity and soft chalk bouquet with some lovely dashes of lemon juice and notes of flint stones. Round and elegant on the palate, this is an intense, vital and persistent mineral Saumur with textural qualities and a remarkably nervy and salty finish that reveals serious tannin grip and refreshing bitters of lemon juice. Tasted in June 2021.
