Saumur (Rouge) 2017 - Domaine Guiberteau

Tasting notes

Approximately 75% of the grapes for this wine derive from the chalky soils of Les Arboises, on the limestone rich Brézé hill, with the rest of the fruit coming from the mature Les Motelles vineyard, on chalky sand and gravel over clay. Made entirely from destemmed grapes, the fruit forward Domaine bottling is naturally fermented and aged for roughly six months in concrete and large tronconique barrel. 2017 is a very fine vintage in both colours here and Romain Guiberteau's first red delivers in spades--expect fleshy dark cherry and blackcurrant fruit, mineral brightness, loads of spice and herby-tangy freshness running the length of the palate. Great class, even at this first level.

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Since 1996, Romain Guiberteau has been at the helm of the family estate, managing 14.5 hectares across the communes of Montreuil-Bellay, Brézé, and Bizay. Certified organic since 2003, the vineyard is planted with Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, with some vines over 60 years old, ensuring exceptional concentration and complexity in every cuvée.

The white wines, notably the Saumur Blanc "Brézé", are renowned for their intense minerality, with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and flint, evolving over time into notes of honey and dried fruits. The reds, such as Les Arboises, offer an elegant structure with fine tannins, showcasing flavors of red fruits, spices, and a subtle earthy touch.

The winemaking process is respectful of the fruit and terroir, with native yeast fermentation and aging on fine lees in stainless steel or barrels. Each bottle embodies artisan craftsmanship and respect for nature, offering an impressive aging potential, making them perfect for collectors seeking premium wines that evolve beautifully over time.
