The winemaking process involves careful fermentation and aging in oak barrels, which imparts a subtle complexity to the wine. On the palate, it reveals a vibrant acidity, with notes of citrus, green apple, and a hint of minerality, balanced by a creamy texture.

Lemon oil, crushed mint, white flowers and hazelnuts introduce Guiberteau’s 2020 Brézé, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and rich white that’s broad and enveloping with a fleshy core of fruit. Long, ethereal and mineral, the finish is underlined by delicate notes of spices and caramel. Crafted from vines planted on three different plots, it matured for two years in half new/half used barrels.
