Saumur Blanc Clos De Guichaux

Chenin Blanc from a 1.4ha monopole of Clos de Guichaux in Bizay. Soils are silt and sand soils, but here the topsoil is only 30cm before roots go directly into the pure limestone bedrock. One of Saumur’s top sites, a historic vineyard replanted in the early 2000’s with massale cuttings from Guiberteau’s old vines in Brézé. Indigenous yeast fermentation and aging for 12 months in 2-4 year large old barrels, with a further 6 months in steel tank before bottling.

Tasting Note: Aromas of red apple, lemon, pear with hits of stone mineral, fresh green herb, honey on the nose. Crisp and complex on the palate, currently restrained with a core of citrus and apple fruit, vibrant acidity, silky texture, a very long salty, mineral finish.
