Information
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.
Chenin, which makes up 100% of this cuvée, evolves on deep clay-limestone soils. Loyal to his organic farming principles, Romain Guiberteau vinifies his wines as naturally as possible, macerates them for a long time and ages them in oak and concrete barrels. Thanks to the slow maceration, the grapes offer the best of their gustatory and aromatic characteristics. The wines are unsurprisingly fleshy and elegant, recalling in some ways the great white Burgundies of the Côte de Beaune.
