Antoine Sanzay Saumur Les Salles Martin Blanc 2022

$6199

Antoine Sanzay took back his grandparents' vines from the local cooperative in Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg in the late 1990s and has been quietly building one of Saumur's most reliable addresses ever since. Les Salles Martin is his Saumur Blanc, 100% Chenin from a small parcel of forty-year-old vines on clay over the chalky tuffeau limestone that defines this corner of the Loire. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in demi-muids, partly new, for around eighteen months, it is rich and ageworthy without losing the Chenin nerve. A Saumur Blanc that earns the long pour.

More about Antoine Sanzay

We spend a fair amount of time writing about Saumur, and with good reason: this is one of the most dynamic wine regions in France. The best sites are capable of making wines which can rival grand cru Burgundy and top classé Bordeaux.

It's easy to focus on Clos Rougeard, the most famous address in the region, whose highly coveted wines are now becoming as expensive as they are hard to find. But those willing to dig a little deeper can find several other great producers in the region. Antoine Sanzay is who we are most excited about these days.

Sanzay has great terroir, with old vines that are growing on the classic chalky, tuffeau substrate that contributes to the distinct mineral complexity of Saumur Cabernet Franc. While top reds from Saumur are often compared to Right Bank Bordeaux, Sanzay's wines have silky texture and an aromatic grace that is bringing him many fans among Burgundy enthusiasts.
