Pristine and lengthy, this has mineral drive with beautifully concentrated flavours of confit lemon, kaffir lime, apple and white peach. Fruit from estate vineyards in and around Brézé was hand picked, whole bunch pressed, wild yeast fermented at ambient temperatures without malolactic fermentation, followed by ageing on lees for 10 months.

Since taking over his family's Loire Valley vineyards in 1996, Romain Guiberteau’s wines have quickly become some of the most sought after wines in the region. With vines up to 80 years old, the 9 hectares of vineyards at Domaine Guiberteau are planted on and around the calcareous site of Brézé. The site is considered something of a de facto Grand Cru in Saumur, and Romain has certainly elevated it’s estimation. He gave up studying law to take over the estate, under the mentorship of Nady Foucault of famed Saumur producer Clos Rougeard. In 2000 the journey to organic management began, and certification was achieved in 2007.  The wines show such purity, vibrancy and poise. The Chenin Blancs are made in dry styles, with both dense fruit concentration and mineral drive. The Cabernet Francs are bright, fragrant with both beautiful fine structure and power.
