The 2023 Saumur Rouge from Domaine Guiberteau is a supple, medium-bodied Loire red built on 100% Cabernet Franc - fresh and direct, with bright red-fruit aromas of cherry and raspberry, subtle herbal and earthy hints, and a touch of forest-floor complexity. It has a mineral-tinged finish that keeps things clean and refreshing, and is the sort of wine that slips easily into a casual dinner, but still has enough character to pair with grilled meats, charcuterie, or tomato-based dishes. Domaine Guiberteau is a family-run estate in Saumur (Loire Valley), now managed by Romain Guiberteau. Since 1996 they’ve focused on quality over quantity, converting to organic viticulture and working with sustainable, minimal-intervention methods. Their vineyards range from 7 to 80 years old.
