Guiberteau. Need we say more? Romain Guiberteau continues to outdo his immensely talented self with wines that belong in the same category as the best of Burgundy, Bordeaux, or anywhere. With most of his vines in Brézé, the single most celebrated terroir in Saumur, Romain is creating nervy, cerebral, mineral Chenin Blanc that nearly knocks you over at first impression. These are energetic wines with incredible terroir clarity. While everyone's focus is on his whites, however, his Cabernet Franc has also become one of the best in the entire Loire Valley. Having mentored under Dani Foucault of famed Clos Rougeard, Guiberteau has quickly become known for the lacy minerality of its thoughtfully complex, Chenin. The Cabernet Franc hits the trifecta of spicy red fruit and minerality, refined texture and excellent aging potential. Red or white, these wines are absolutely delicious, in high demand, and unfortunately in very small quantity. Don't miss out!
