Regular price $80

Step into the Loire's crystalline world with Domaine Guiberteau's elegant Saumur Blanc. This family run estate, steeped in early 20th-century tradition, coaxes pure expression from tuffeau limestone soils through meticulous, low intervention winemaking. White flowers, citrus, and ripe pear emerge alongside whispers of stone and mineral complexity, a delicate aromatic tapestry. The palate sings with crisp precision and vibrant acidity, delivering a clean, lingering finish that speaks to both the vineyard's character and the Guiberteau family's thoughtful philosophy. A wine that refreshes, intrigues, and captures the essence of Saumur's terroir with understated grace and genuine charm.

(On the 2022)This 2022 Saumur Blanc from Domaine Guiberteau, crafted from various estate parcels, with one-third aged in tanks, one-third in vats and one-third in used barrels, exhales aromas of lemon oil, sweet spices, orchard fruits and herbs, followed by a medium-bodied, sappy and juicy texture and concluding with a long, delicate and saline finish. This is a great effort. 90Pts, Drink 2024-2034 - Yohan Castaing, The Wine Advocate
