Domaine Guiberteau, Saumur Blanc “Les Moulins”

We rarely receive enough Guiberteau wine to feature any in our Daily Offers, which means well-aged gems like this one occasionally turn up in the SommSelect cellar—and you simply won't find a more distinguished aged white at this price. Romain Guiberteau was mentored by legendary Clos Rougeard vigneron Nady Foucault, and his Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc wines from Saumur's Brézé hill have become nearly as sought-after as the maestro's: 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.

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
