The vineyard has been farmed organically since 2010 and, as he puts it, is finely tuned for the style of Chenin he is after: elegant, pure, vertical, with salinity from the limestone. He picks slightly earlier than Guiberteau does at Clos de Guichaux and works with fewer lees than his colleague, which gives a leaner, more cut-glass wine. The fruit fermented naturally in stainless steel and then aged 14 months in used large-format barrels sourced from Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau.

That deeper soil gives a more austere, horizontal profile than his Chapaudaises. Brézé is not typical Saumur: the vineyards sit higher than the surrounding land, directly on a hill of tuffeau, a porous chalky limestone mixed with clay and sand, and around 70 per cent of the slope has less than a metre of topsoil, so vines of any age must root into bedrock. Even in ripe years the wines stay cool and fresh.

This wine comes from Philippe Germain’s estate vineyards at Rochefort-sur-Loire, where, unusually for the Loire, the clay and schist soils are cut into an amphitheatre of terraces. The grapes are harvested passerillé, dried on the vine with little or no botrytis, which gives a purer, less honeyed style of sweetness. Fermentation is natural and takes place in neutral demi-muid, and it is stopped at around 80 g\/L residual sugar, a level held in check by perky acidity and moderate alcohol. Orange blossom, citrus, honey and a touch of salinity lead to a plush, mouth-filling palate that stays clean thanks to that acidity and a floral-inflected finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking well now and holding for ten years or more.
