Guiberteau Saumur Chenin Blanc 2022

Tasting Notes

100% Chenin Blanc from a mixture of sites across around Brézé including parcels of younger vine fruit from Clos des Carmen, Clos de Guichaux and some older vines in Bas des Pentes plus some extra bits from spots like Bizay so there’s no surprises as to why this wine is so good! This is one of the first releases where a portion of the wine spends some time in oak adding texture and helping to flesh the wine out as it’s been really tight and zippy in previous years. For me this is the best vintage of this wine that I have tried and highlights why this producer is held as one of the best in the region. Not to be missed if you are a fan of Chenin Blanc. - Pete L
