Saumur Rouge Les Motelles 2016 Guiberteau

Saumur Rouge Les Motelles 2016 is a natural wine from the Domaine Guiberteau. It is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes from the Les Motelles vineyard, just 1.4 hectares south of the denomination. All fields are rich in clay with ice (it is the area with a minimal amount of limestone). The grapes are totally de-stemmed and fermentation takes place spontaneously in cement, connected for 14 months in barrels from 3 to 5 years old. Saumur Rouge Les Motelles 2016 has a bright ruby red color, the nose is fruity with black currant and cherry, then turns towards smoky, ferrous, and mineral hints. In the mouth it is straight, pure and defined with a very long persistence.

DESIGNATION: Saumur AOC

REGION: Loire Valley (France)

GRAPES: 100% Cabernet Franc

VINIFICATION: spontaneous fermentation in cement, 14 months of maturation in 3 to 5 year old barrels.

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 maturation 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.
