The 2018 vintage in the press :

Vinous (R. Gibb - July 2024) : 92/100 « The 2018 Saumur blanc L'Échelier is dry, round, nutty and tropical. It was a very warm vintage, giving richness and ripe pineapple character. A racy acidity holds this wine together like tight reins. There's a contrast here between that tropicality and the zingy, crunchy acidity, which messes with your head. »

    The 2021 vintage in the press:

    Vinous (R. Gibb - July 2024) : 92/100 "Don't mess with the 2021 Saumur blanc L'Échelier: it's got attitude–flirty, floral and transparent, with the purity of a glacier. The Germains didn't do any malolactic despite the natural acidity of this vintage. This is an acid fiend's wine, but it's ripe phenolics give real firmness, like a fierce girl. Melon and apple flavors linger on the very pure and strict conclusion."

    Vinous (R. Gibb - July 2024) : 91/100 "There's a richness to the 2020 Saumur blanc L'Échelier that reflects the dry, warm conditions of the vintage. Ripe and tropical yet saline with notes of almond meal, it's already beginning to develop. The 2020 rampages to retain its freshness despite the exotic fruit."

A bit less evolved on the palate then on the nose, ot gives off a charming citrus freshness, but I'd love a little more depth."

    La Revue du Vin de France (Jérémie Cukierman - April 2024): 97-98/100 “2022 is the last vintage bottled, and it's a tenor that doesn't need to force its voice. It offers incredible aromatic purity, with a very strong floral imprint. [...] The palate is not muscular, but caressing”.

    La Revue du Vin de France (Alexis Goujard - April 2024): 97/100 “Radiant aromatic brilliance and incredible florality characterize this wine. It seems at once full of strength, vitality and serenity. A well-balanced body is sculpted by a tannic refinement that is not easy to grasp in this vintage. A graceful evolution is to be expected."

It displays rich concentration in an elegant, rather delicate whole. As expected with a wine of this age, it's young and bright, with aromas of red currant fruit, flowers, black olive and even a hint of smoky wood. There's definitely depth and tannins, but they melt away on the palate. The finish is refined and assured, with a shimmering acidity that gives it a fabulous backbone. Apogee 2024-2038.”

    Vinous (Rebecca Gibb - Master of Wine - December 2023): 94/100 “Made from vines planted on clay-limestone in 1904, Les Mémoires 2021 is fragrant, refined and long. It displays rich concentration in an elegant, rather delicate whole. As expected with a wine of this age, it's young and bright, with aromas of red currant fruit, flowers, black olive and even a hint of smoky wood. There's definitely depth and tannins, but they melt away on the palate. The finish is refined and assured, with a shimmering acidity that gives it a fabulous backbone. Apogee 2024-2038.”

Crystalline Chenins and ripe Cabernet Franc, all matured with mastery to sublimate the purity and identity of the juices, between tension, crispness, refinement and generosity. In white as in red, a dazzling and flawless range.
