After a light decanting of the lees, the wine ferments with indigenous yeast in older oak barrels and is aged there for 18 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:1em 0\"\u003eBrendan Stater-West came to France about ten years ago to teach English in Paris, then turned to wine. He worked in a Paris wine shop, where tasting Domaine Guiberteau's Brézé 2008 showed him limestone terroir through Chenin. He moved to Saumur and apprenticed with Romain Guiberteau while studying for a BTS Viti-Oeno. He also spent three months at the Clos Cristal, the hospices de Saumur, learning vineyard work with horses. In 2015 Guiberteau offered him one hectare in Les Chapaudaises, a site suited to the style he loves: elegant, pure, vertical, with salinity from the limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Cru Selections","offers":[{"title":"750mL \/ 12 \/ 2025","offer_id":46984169259204,"sku":"649973","price":480.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/3538\/5028\/files\/649973.jpg?v=1791740482","url":"https:\/\/www.grandwinecellar.com\/products\/brendan-stater-west-saumur-blanc","provider":"Grand Wine Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
