Description
 
The domaine is 9.4 hectares (under plantation, there is 12 hectares total), 7 of which are located in the great terroir of Brézé. A little more than half of the surface is planted to Chenin with the remainder planted to Cabernet Franc. Age of vines varies between 4 and 80 years old, with a hefty proportion of old vines. In 2000, Romain converted the vineyards to organic management and in 2003 he began the process towards the AB organic certification, obtaining it in 2007. In only a few years, Domaine Guiberteau has become one of the most sought after domaines in Saumur, their wines already stringently allocated and found in the best restaurants in France.

Guiberteau’s 2019 Saumur Les Moulins comes from a vineyard that was planted in 1935 and has always been renewed where necessary until 2008. Located in the communes of Montreuil-Bellay, Brézé and Bizay, this Chenin Blanc is from organically farmed clay and limestone soils. The must derived from whole-cluster pressing was fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged on the fine lees in a stainless steel tank. The wine has a lean but intense and tensioned character and displays a pure, fresh and chalky nose with intense and refreshing dashes of lemon juice intertwined with some flinty and floral notes. Dry, elegant and in a subtle way also rich and juicy on the palate, this is a full-bodied, intense and finessed, vibrantly fresh and tightly structured Chenin with substance, grip and complexity. The finish is sustainable, stimulating and salty. The 2019 reveals exciting grip composed of minerals, tannins and chalky acidity. This is a superb effort from Guiberteau and highly recommended for all Chenin (and Chablis) fans. Tasted in May 2021. Wine Advocate 95 (2019)
