Led by Romain Guiberteau, the domaine has been farmed organically since the early 2000s and emphasizes a minimalist approach in the cellar to allow the terroir of Saumur—especially its limestone soils—to shine. The Saumur Blanc is a signature bottling that exemplifies the domaine’s focus on tension, purity, and longevity.

ABOUT THE WINE
Made from 100% Chenin Blanc grown on organically farmed tuffeau limestone soils near the village of Montreuil-Bellay, this wine captures the essence of Saumur’s cool climate and mineral-driven terroir. Grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed before fermenting with native yeasts in a combination of stainless steel and older barrels. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to preserve the wine’s signature cut and clarity.
The 2023 vintage is marked by brisk acidity, layered citrus fruit, green pear, and chalky texture. The finish is long and saline, with a quiet depth that builds with air. The magnum format brings an added dimension of longevity and slow evolution, ideal for cellaring or pairing with refined dishes like shellfish, white asparagus, or aged goat cheese.
