Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, sweet
A sweet Coteaux de Saumur from Ackerman, the historic Saumur house founded in 1811, made from late-harvested Chenin Blanc grown on the tuffeau limestone of the Saumurois. Honeyed and bright: quince, apricot and candied lemon with acacia blossom, balanced by Chenin's lively acidity so the sweetness stays fresh rather than cloying.
Serving: Serve at 6–8 °C.
