Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Les Arboises Rouge 2021, Loire Valley, France. From biodynamically farmed 1957 Cabernet Franc vines on the monopole Les Arboises – a 1ha south-facing, rocky sandy-silt slope over chalky limestone bedrock on Brézé hill – this Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Les Arboises Rouge 2021 seduces with refined blackcurrant, plum, cherry, orange peel, cocoa and forest floor aromas, laced with subtle spice.

Full-bodied and layered on the palate, fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins frame mineral-driven complexity and elegant structure, building to a long, poised finish of profound terroir expression – Guiberteau’s top red of power, finesse and excellent ageing potential. Decant for roast duck or herb-crusted lamb; claim this Brézé masterpiece now.
