Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Les Moulins Rouge 1.5L MAGNUM 2021

Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Les Moulins Rouge is a steel-raised Cabernet Franc made for early drinking, from vines at Montreuil-Bellay and on the Brézé hill, in magnum.

The Moulins label was created to give a home to Guiberteau's grapes while they were in conversion to organic farming. The vines are mostly at Montreuil-Bellay, on deeper soils south of Saumur, with a healthy portion of old-vine fruit from a recently acquired parcel on the Brézé hill; ages range from ten to eighty years. The wine is raised in stainless steel only, with just five days on skins, the aim being something more open and immediately delicious than the village bottling and at a more accessible price. The Montreuil-Bellay fruit gives an elegant, lithe palate while the Brézé component contributes chalky tannin and crunchy freshness. Yields in this vintage were down by half. Magnum format suits a wine of this brightness at the table.

Drink over the next three to five years; serve lightly chilled at 14–16°C with charcuterie, roast chicken or a vegetable tart.
