Isabelle Suire Saumur Blanc 2024

$2399

Saumur Chenin from a quietly excellent grower with serious Loire credentials. Isabelle Suire took over her family's 17-hectare estate in 2007, converted to organic farming under the mentorship of her neighbor and friend Romain Guiberteau, and built a reputation as one of the appellation's most precise hands with Chenin Blanc. Made from 100% Chenin grown on Saumur's classic tuffeau limestone, this is a serious, dry, mineral-driven white in the Guiberteau orbit, a kindred spirit made independently. 2024 was a hard year across the Loire, wet and short on sunshine with relentless mildew pressure, and the wines that came through it are taut and high-strung, with unusually vivid acidity. The kind of Loire Chenin that punches well above its station and rewards a few hours of air in the glass.

More about Isabelle Suire

Suire has been making wine since 2007, when she took over her family domaine. Eventually, she became president of Saumur’s white wine association, and that’s when she met the president of the appellation’s red wine association, Romain Guiberteau.

Romain quickly became an influence on Isabelle, convincing her to transition to organic viticulture, and implement new viticultural practices, like planting cover crops in humid vintages, using local cow manure from her neighbors, and various canopy management techniques.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with tarragon, sole meuniere, scallops with brown butter, pork loin with apples, or a slab of triple-cream cheese. Also a knockout with sushi.

Tasting Profile

Quince, yellow apple, white flowers and beeswax over a chalky, saline core. Dry and light- to medium-bodied, with cutting acidity, a lanolin texture and a long stony finish.
