Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Blanc Clos de Guichaux 2020
"This cuvée comes from a warm terroir in Épieds, south-east of Brézé. It has been matured in barrel for one year, and has seen no malolactic fermentation. Aromatically this feels attractively challenging, with suggestions of crushed rocks and saline minerals. There is a touch of roast to the fruits, led by peach and apricot, spiced up with star anise. The palate shows the same spiced-fruit melange, infused with a little powdered chalk, before a lightly bitter finish. With a good length, this is a promising start" - Chris Kissack, The Wine Doctor
Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Blanc 2021
"This is the generic domaine cuvée from Romain Guiberteau, vinified entirely in stainless steel. At the time of tasting it was still resting in cuve, with bottling scheduled for the following week. The aromatics are enticing, with an divinely salty, powdery, minerally style. This is countered by a palate which is supple, polished and weighty, yet maintains a light-footed elegance as it dances into the midpalate. I adore the rich density of orchard fruits cut by the saline minerals and bright acidity, through to the finish. This is top notch, and it has lovely potential. - Chris Kissack, The Wine Doctor."
