2021 Domaine Guiberteau Saumur "Le Bourg - Breze", Loire, France
The Saumur ‘Le Bourg’ comes from a parcel of Chenin Blanc in Brézé planted 70 years ago on tuffeau soil. It was picked by hand, fermented without additions and aged for 12 months in tank and older oak barrels. A concentrated, dense and substantial, textural Saumur with plenty of time on its side. Drink now-2035.
92 points - Vinous: “The 2021 Le Bourg is sited on one of the area’s most coveted sites, Brézé, offering a salty, tightly-wound style. There are lemon, almond and apple flavors on this light-bodied, yet firmly poised white with a sense of chili spice and salty notes. Drink now-2033.“ (JR)
