Saumur Blanc, Domaine des Roches Neuves, Loire, France 2016/17
£32
The nose is very attractive, full of pears, pineapple and honey. There is incredible vitality on the palate with perfect balancing acidity. The wine is paean to Chenin Blanc, a snapdragon on an anvil, and drinking it will give your goosebumps goosebumps. After a couple of hours in the carafe drink it with lobster in sauce, sea bass steamed with ginger and/or gourmet Chinese food.
