Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Les Arboises Rouge 2021 gumeracha Vivid plum and red fruits100% Cabernet Franc. Les Arboises is a subsection of the limestone dominant Brz hill. This is Guiberteaus top red from a renowned red terroir. The monopole parcel was planted in 1957 on a rocky, chalky site and produces super graceful, mineral expressions of Saumur. The fruit is fully destemmed and naturally fermented in concrete before resting for 18 months in new, one , two and three year old barrels. Guiberteau used about 40% new barrels in 2020.
