making for density and concentration

2018 Clarendelle ticks all the boxes for a great vintage

a gentle maceration of only wetting the cap

gingerbread and an imperceptible hint of flowers

There are notes of warm brown spices

Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Blanc Le Bourg 2022 Size::6 Bottle Case making for density and concentrationPressed as bunches and naturally fermented, Le Bourg ages for 12 months in used barrels before bottling. Its a wine of menacing nerve, with more slate like minerality than Guiberteaus other Brz cuves. Theres real beauty in the waves of pithy citrus, crushed rock and smoky complexity, yet the penetrating length, flecked by chalk dust, aniseed and sherbert, tells us the best is yet to come. A striking wine that will benefit further from decanting.
