Guiberteau Les Moulins Saumur Blanc 2024

A bright, tensile Chenin Blanc that radiates with clarity and lift. Aromas of green apple, quince, white peach and chamomile rise from the glass, underpinned by a fine chalky minerality. On the palate, it’s vibrant and linear, with electric acidity wrapped around stone fruit, citrus peel, crushed shells and subtle almond tones. There’s a touch of lees like texture that adds volume without dulling the precision. The finish is zesty, saline, and mouthwatering—an elegant expression of Loire Chenin that walks the line between charm and edge.

Grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed as whole clusters to retain freshness. Fermentation is spontaneous, using only native yeasts, and occurs in stainless steel or old, large-format foudres. Lees ageing for 6–9 months adds mid-palate texture and complexity, in stainless steel with 1/4 of the blend in old oak foudre to preserve varietal expression and minerality. There is no malolactic fermentation, maintaining Chenin’s natural edge and vibrancy. The wine is bottled unfiltered or lightly filtered with minimal sulphur.

Pair with fresh oysters, scallops, or grilled langoustines, Thai or Vietnamese dishes with lemongrass and lime.
