Saumur 2024 - Domaine Guiberteau

This 2024 Saumur is a white wine from the Loire Valley produced by Domaine Guiberteau from Chenin Blanc grapes grown on the deep clay-limestone soils of the Saumur appellation. Romain Guiberteau’s vineyard, managed using organic farming methods, prioritises hand-harvesting and a minimal-intervention winemaking process in order to preserve the expression of the grape variety and the limestone soils. On the nose, this 2024 Saumur white reveals aromas of citrus, white-fleshed fruit, quince and white flowers, accompanied by mineral notes reminiscent of chalk. On the palate, Guiberteau’s Chenin Blanc offers a full-bodied and precise texture, underpinned by lovely freshness and a briny quality that lingers on the finish. Ageing on lees, carried out in tanks, large casks and old wooden vessels depending on the batch, adds texture whilst preserving the purity of the fruit. Served at around 10 to 12 °C, this 2024 Saumur will pair perfectly with seafood, roasted fish, poultry in cream sauce or goat’s cheese, and will appeal to lovers of Loire Chenin Blanc, Saumur white wines and the terroir-driven cuvées from Domaine Guiberteau.
