Recommendation from Alex at @bacchic.co, from my hunt for Chenin blancs.

The Domaine du Collier was created in 1999 by Antoine (son of Charly Foucault from the famed Clos Rougeard) and his wife, Having worked at Clos Rougeard for four years and still at the young age of 26 he took the opportunity to buy four hectares of old vines (through his family) in the commune of Brézé in the best lieu-dit of ‘La Ripaille’. The estate comprises with the vast majority of the estate planted to Chenin Blanc (including some 100 year old vines) and just under a hectare of Cabernet Franc.

Samur Blanc is from low yielding (30hl/ha) mature (20-75 years) vines grown on predominantly clay limestone soils is a very powerful and complex wine even when young.
