2015 Domaine Guiberteau, ‘Les Arboises’, Brézé Monopole, Saumur Rouge, Loire Valley, France

Called “the Clos Rougeard for a new generation,” Romain Guiberteau took back control of his family’s holdings in the late 90’s and has quickly established himself as a new benchmark producer in the Loire Valley. With vineyards centered around the famous hill of Brézé, Romain works several monopole sites which showcase true terroir through Saumur’s Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc grapes. 

From the Les Arboises monopole, situated in Brézé, this wine sees 18 months in barrels of which 80% are new wood.
