Description

Saumur Rouge 2018 Guiberteau

Saumur Rouge 2018 is a natural wine produced by Guiberteau. This entry level introduces us well to the company's range of reds, all based on Cabernet Franc grapes, the most representative red grape of the Loire. The company philosophy is based precisely on the exaltation of the region's terroir, in particular of Saumur, with wines that are produced with full respect for the soil in a totally natural way. This Saumur Rouge 2018 has an intense ruby red color, with reflections tending to purplish. This is because it is still young and we can verify it from the nose, where in spite of everything it already expresses very distinct spicy and juniper berries notes, together with licorice, ripe red fruits (morello cherry). The mouth is also lively and fresh, with elegant floral aromas of rose and violet, fruits that return to the palate, acidity present but already well balanced. Long sip that ends in a slightly spicy finish. It can be accompanied with not too elaborate meat dishes.

DENOMINATION: Saumur AOC

REGION: Loire Valley (France)

GRAPES: 100% Cabernet Franc

VINIFICATION: total disparity of the grapes, vinification and aging in old wood

Natural wines derive from the cultivation of vines treated exclusively with copper and sulfur (in limited quantities), compost of biodynamic and natural origin, respecting the growth and ripening cycles strictly dictated by nature, in order to obtain naturally healthy, strong and able to defend themselves against parasites. As for winemaking, natural wines are brought to maturity without the addition of any supporting chemicals or selected yeasts, allowing the course of spontaneous maceration of sugar and sulphites of the grapes to take place in a completely natural way.

GUIBERTEAU

Domaine Guiberteau produces Loire wines in the Saumur area, an area in contrast to the rest of the region (famous for its great Sauvignons) where Chenin Blanc reigns supreme.

The domaine is 9.4 hectares, 7 of which are in the great terroir of Brézé. Just over half of the area is planted to Chenin and the rest to Cabernet Franc. The age of the vines varies from 4 to 80 years, with a high proportion of old vines. In 2000, Romain converted the vineyards to organic management and in 2003 began the process towards AB organic certification, obtaining it in 2007.

In just a few years, the wines of Domaine Guiberteau have attracted the attention of the great international critics, making it one of the most sought-after Domaines in Saumur.
