2021 Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Blanc Breze

Only grapes from 1 hectare of the highest quality vines go into this cuvée, while the remainder is declassified. In the vineyard, massal selection is used for replacing vines which are planted at a density of 5,500 vines per hectare, with an average yield of 30 hL per hectare.

In only a few years, Domaine Guiberteau has become one of the most sought after domaines in Saumur. In 1996, Romain Guiberteau decided to take over the management of his family's vineyards rather than see the leases renewed. The following year, under the mentoring of Clos Rougeard's Nady Foucault, Romain quickly sold through his 1st vintage. The success convinced him to pursue a qualitative approach to winemaking and to gradually take back his grapes from the cooperative. Considered locally as a grand cru site, these vines at Breze are very old plantings from 1933 and 1952
