history
Sail up the Loire River, on a "gabare" - a local type of boat - meandering through the vineyards and discovering our wines: "Vallée Loire" is a group of wines that act as ambassadors for the Loire Valley AOP, marked by their character, freshness, and approachability.
Vineyard
The Touraine vineyards in the Cher River valley are located on hillsides with flinty clay soil and on slopes with siliceous soil and clay subsoil, where the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety expresses all its subtle complexity.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested in the coolest part of the day and pneumatic pressing releases the juice from the grapes slowly and gently. Following a short skin contact on fine lees, low-temperature fermentation (16-18°C) preserves a maximum of the varietal aromas.
Aged on fine lees before bottling.
Tasting notes
Bouquet featuring soft fresh-fruit (tropical fruit, blackcurrant, and citrus) and floral aromas.
On the palate, it is light, fresh, and bursting with fruit (citrus, grapefruit, and peaches), with a lively lemony note. Nice length with some mineral character.
Food pairing
Ideal with aperitifs, delicatessen meats, summer salads, seafood (prawns), vegetable tarts, goat's cheese, and fruit salads.
