Domaine GUIBERTEAU - Brézé 2015
The estate is located 12km south of Saumur, in the village of Saint-Just-sur-Dive, since 1934, when the Guiberteau family settled in this village. The estate, led by Romain Guiberteau since 1996, produces Saumur appellation wines. Only two varieties are cultivated: Cabernet Franc and Chenin. The vines are from 5 to over 80 years old.
The vineyard covers 17 hectares, in the communes of Bizay, Brézé, Chacé, Montreuil Bellay and Saint-Just-sur-Dive. The vineyard has been conducted in Organic Farming since 2003: the soils are worked under the rows and naturally grassed. All synthetic products are prohibited: only sulfur, copper, essential oils and plant decoctions are used. The vines are harvested manually.
The cuvée "Brézé" reflects the specific characteristics of the chenin blanc grape variety; honeyed notes, quince and yellow plum that balance perfectly with the flintstone hint found on this clay-limestone terroir.
