is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
What is this wine?
Domaine Régnier David’s Saumur Blanc “La Guichardière” 2019 is a pure Chenin Blanc from the limestone-rich soils of Saumur in the central Loire Valley. The estate, located in Varrains, farms organically and focuses on minimal-intervention winemaking. La Guichardière is sourced from old vines rooted in tuffeau chalk, fermented with native yeasts, and aged on lees to capture both texture and precision—an authentic reflection of Saumur’s cool, mineral terroir.
Why get this wine?
Régnier David is one of the quiet overachievers of the Loire, crafting soulful wines that balance ripe orchard fruit with saline minerality. The 2019 vintage offers a perfect equilibrium between richness and freshness, making it a serious yet approachable white that rivals far pricier Chenins from nearby Savennières or Montlouis. Exceptional value for its depth and purity.
What does this wine taste like?
Textured and lively, with notes of pear, quince, and lemon curd layered over chalky minerality and a hint of honeyed complexity. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a long, stony finish.
When should you drink this wine?
Delicious now for its energy and fruit, or cellar 5–8 years to develop deeper honey and lanolin tones. Ideal with roasted poultry, shellfish, or creamy vegetable dishes. Serve slightly cool.
