Description of Saumur Rouge "Les Chapaudaises"

Estate

Domaine Guiberteau is a family-run estate known for its quality red wines made from Cabernet Franc in the Loire Valley region. The estate combines traditional expertise with environmentally conscious practices.

Vineyard

The vineyard is located in the Saumurois area, a sub-region of the Loire Valley renowned for its clay-limestone soils that provide finesse and elegance to the wines. The temperate climate allows for a slow, complete ripening of the grapes.

Wine

The Saumur Domaine Guiberteau 2018 is a red wine based on Cabernet Franc, displaying a balance between power and freshness. Its tannic structure and fruity aromas reflect a fine expression of the Saumur terroir.

Vintage

The 2018 vintage benefited from particularly favorable weather, with a warm, dry summer allowing good concentration of the grapes. This vintage promises a structured wine combining ripeness and refinement.

Vinification & Aging

Traditional vinification in stainless steel tanks promotes fruity expression and respect for the grape variety. Aging took place in tanks to preserve the wine’s natural freshness while softening the tannins.

Grape Variety

Cabernet Franc

Characteristics & Tasting

Tasting

  • Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple reflections.
  • Nose: Pronounced aromas of small red fruits such as redcurrant and cherry, accompanied by subtle spicy and peppery notes.
  • Palate: Smooth attack followed by a well-structured tannic backbone balanced by lively acidity, offering a pleasant aromatic length.

Serving

Serve at 16-17°C (60-63°F). A light decanting of about one hour is recommended for young bottles to soften the tannins.

Food Pairings

This Saumur pairs well with matured rib of beef, herb-crusted rack of lamb, Époisses or 24-month aged Comté cheese, and herb-roasted free-range poultry.

Occasions

Ideal for an important business meal, a convivial family celebration, or a friendly reunion over dinner.

Aging Potential

Can be enjoyed now but will gain complexity over the next 5 to 8 years.
