Domaine Guiberteau is a prominent estate in the Loire Valley, known for producing multi-layered and age-worthy wines sourced from the exceptional hillside terroir of Brézé in Saumur. This exquisite Chenin Blanc comes from the exclusive Clos de Guichaux, a historically renowned vineyard located in Bizay. It was replanted in 2003 using vine material from the estate`s oldest vines. The wine undergoes a 12-month ageing process in seasoned 600-litre barrels with the lees, resulting in a delicately creamy texture that provides an exceptionally enticing mouthfeel. Despite this richness, the wine maintains its natural acidity that imparts a refreshing and invigorating quality.
