Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Blanc Les Moulins 2018

 Unoaked and full of tense mineral energy, this single-vineyard Chenin Blanc is sourced from very old, organically farmed vines in the "Les Moulins" cru—one of Guiberteau's many prized plots. Expressive and deep after some significant bottle age, this is Loire Valley Chenin at its finest, and a rare treat, indeed.

Medium yellow color. Popping with sea salt, talc, crushed oyster shells, with honey, chamomile, on top of lemon and yellow apple. Tart and crunchy on the palate with sliced green apples, tart apricot and lime. Racy, vibrant, salty, with minerals and all sorts of saline, rocky elements. Fresh, crunchy but complex.
