Roches Neuves Saumur Blanc Clos Romans 2022 announces itself from steep tuffeau slopes, made by Roches Neuves with meticulous old-vine selection and precise cellar handling that delivers pure Loire Chenin expression. The bottle Roches Neuves Saumur Blanc Clos Romans 2022 reads like a terroir statement and feels immediately collectible, so consider adding it to your cellar.

Bright aromatics of quince, pear kernel, chamomile and wet stone lead to a palate of tensile acidity, saline minerality and a honeyed mid-palate; texture moves from silky to nervy with orchard fruit density and a long, clean finish that rewards gentle aeration and short-term cellaring.

Serve chilled with oysters, scallops in browned butter, roast pork with apple or goat’s cheese; ideal for riverside lunches, tasting menus or as an elegant aperitif. This focused, terroir-driven wine is an assured buy for both immediate drinking and short-term ageing.
