Frantz Saumon: Tasting & Drinking
Once a run-down has-been, the Montlouis-sur-Loire appellation is now exciting and dynamic. Part of this reinvigoration of the appellation is down to the presence of the quiet and determined Frantz Saumon. Whereas his négoce wines tend to be underwhelming (except for his pétillant naturel cuvées which can be delightful) his Montlouis-sur-Loire cuvées, in particular the Minéral+, are very special wines that deserve a place in any cellar. Especially mine. And I hope you realise by now that I put my money where my mouth is on statements like that. (27/10/11, updated 17/11/12, 9/12/20)
