Vinous (R. Gibb - May 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."

Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.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. »

Vinous (R. Gibb - July 2024) : 93/100 "The golden-hued 2017 Saumur blanc L'Échelier shows ripe flavors of pineapple, honey and truffle, almost as if there's some botrytis–but there's not. It's bone-dry, yet there's a tender middle to this light-bodied wine. Expect iodine, giving a salty-like-the-sea impression. The 2017 is ready to enjoy now."

Vinous (R. Gibb - July 2024) : 92/100 "Like a good aged Riesling, the 2016 Saumur blanc L'Échelier offers up toast, marmalade, honey and is there the slightest hint of petrol here? 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 (April 2025): 95/100 "From a delightful clos with soils of clay, silt, sandstone and flint on tufa, here is Clos Romans, a radiant white evoking flowers and citrus fruit, full of nuances. Magnificent purity of substance. Exceptional drive and unforgettable freshness in this sunny vintage."
Vinous (Rebecca Gibb - May 2024) : 94/100 "The 2022 Saumur blanc Clos Romans is focused, concentrated and powerful, displaying floral, pear and melon aromas. It's a structured style, creating a picture frame within which the wine sits. Intriguing with long, apple-infused length, this wine has an identity and is proud of it."

Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (R. Gibb - June 2023): 94/100 “The 2021 Clos Romans peaceful entry starts as if it has repented for its sins, but don't be fooled: this dry style has a fierce arrow-loke line of acidity and tension penetrating the win's core. In its precise and tense youth, this aromatically restrained wine offers subtle florals, quince and less-derived notes, but it needs time to unfurl, relax and blossom.”
La Revue du Vin de France (J. Cukierman - April 2024): 96-97/100 “A dry and straight wine, but very charming in its aromatic palette with fresh almond and lemon bergamot [...] It offers great tension, a very pure structure and takes us into its marine and iodized universe”.
La Revue du Vin de France (A. Goujard - April 2024): 95/100 “It evokes fresh almond and pineapple. Invigorating aromatic vitality. Chiseled substance on the palate, a magnificent flowing, intense texture. The fatness builds slowly to an extremely salivating finish. Luminous !”

Vinous (R. Gibb - June 2022): 94/100 "The 2020 Franc de Pied [...] reveals itself to be a richly fruited, savory style that fills the mouth with a balloon of chalky silness. The limestone element really shows itself on the long finish, all finely grained texture and sinew. As you'd hope from Saumur-Champigny, there's no sense of weight or heft."

Vinous (R. Gibb - December 2023): 92/100 “The 2021Clos de l'Echelier is a delicate and tender style, with impressive purity of fruit. It is almost cloud-like in its lightness on the palate. The finest of chalk-like tannins covers the mouth in a blanket of finely-pixelated image, which can no doubt be attributed to this limestone-rich, north-facing site as well as a very delicate hand when it comes to extraction. Being 2021, there's no shortage of acidity, but it is entirely integrated within the wine, providing a thread of tension that courses through its core, leaving everything tied up on the precise finish. This is a harmonious,well-crafted example."

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.”
