Cave de Saumur, Saumur Blanc ‘Les Plantagenêts’ 2019

RRP £7.95

From the go-ahead Saumur Co-operative, this Loire Chenin Blanc is pale lemon in colour, fresh and subtly herby in aroma, and the appetising stone fruit ripeness on display here is sliced through by a crisp apple bite to make it a delightfully dry, al fresco summer sipper or accompaniment to shellfish.
