95 POINTS - Monica Larner

Altitudes range from 450 to 560 metres and a number of soil types but primarily well-drained rich red clay loam of volcanic origin with significant quartz deposits

Really fine and perfumed yet with good depth

picking up hints of vanilla on the palate and finishing crisp and dry

a little deeper than Terre de Vertus

Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Rouge 2022 Size::1 Bottle 95 POINTS - Monica Larner100% Cabernet Franc. Guiberteaus village rouge is sourced from three parcels of old vine Cabernet Franc (planted from 1955 to 1957) on silty sandy topsoils over limestone on the Brz hill. Made entirely from destemmed grapes, this fruit forward bottling fermented naturally in concrete before spending 12 months in large tronconique barrels. This reverses the logic in the white releases, where the Moulins is elevated above village level. Romain
