The inimitable finesse of both the variety and Saumur is perfectly reflected in the Guiberteau Saumur rouge 2021. If you’re seeking an intoxicatingly aromatic, floral red with silky tannins, you’ve found your perfect match!
The winery’s philosophy revolves around organic farming, hand-picking, minimal interventions, and minimal sulfites. Nestled in Saint-Just-sur-Dive, just south of the city of Saumur, the winery spans 42 hectares of vineyards, ranging in age from 5 to 80 years. The winery’s history dates back to 1934 when the family settled in the region and established the winery. Since 1996, Romain Guiberteau has been the “maestro of the winery.” The unique finesse and quality of their wines have opened the doors to renowned restaurants and wine bars worldwide, including the Noble Rot in London.
The 2021 vintage of Guiberteau Saumur rouge is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes grown in limestone soils, following the principles of organic farming. The grapes are hand-picked, and fermentation is done using indigenous yeasts. The wine ages for approximately six months in large conical barrels before being bottled.
