Saumur Brézé Clos des Carmes Domaine Guiberteau 2016

The wine

This Saumur is made with biodynamically-grown Chenin. It is complex, rich and persistent in style, which bodes well for its ageing potential. Its notes of white flowers, citrus fruits, quince and toast make it ideal for pairing with goats cheeses, or poultry in a creamy sauce.

About the Producer Guiberteau

Romain Guiberteau has been in charge of the 14.5 hectare family domain in the communes of Montreuil-Bellay, Brézé and Bizay since 1996. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2003 and is planted with Chenin and Cabernet Franc. Some of the vines are around 60 years old. The soil is tilled and left with grass cover. The only additives used are sulphur, copper and plant decoctions. A true leading light in the region, Romain Guiberteau, originally from Berry, makes wines reputed to be among the best in the Loire.
