Touraine Sauvignon Blanc

Terroir and Winemaking
Our Touraine Sauvignon originates from clay-limestone slopes adorned with flint incrustations (known as perruches), situated on the right bank of the river Cher. To craft this wine, we employ a meticulous process that entails cold pre-fermentation maceration, followed by low-temperature fermentation, culminating in maturation in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting Notes
Elegantly light, straw-colored wine, adorned with delicate hints of citrus and pineapple aromas that gracefully waft from the glass. Its intricate bouquet exudes the essence of delicate citrus fruits, particularly grapefruit, accompanied by a discernible mineral character. With aeration, the wine unveils invigorating hints of freshly squeezed lemon entwined with the essence of white fruit, pear, and green apples. On the palate, the wine possesses a crispness that borders on a steely sharpness, bursting forth with vibrant flavors of gooseberry, peanut, and nettle, courtesy of its aging on lees. The refreshing persistence on the palate impeccably harmonizes with the wine's overall structure.

Food Pairing
This Touraine Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Its vibrant acidity and distinct flavors make it an excellent companion for fresh seafood, such as grilled shrimp or seared scallops. The wine's citrus notes and minerality also complement dishes like herb-roasted chicken or grilled asparagus. For a vegetarian option, pair it with a light, refreshing salad adorned with tangy goat cheese and drizzled with lemon vinaigrette. Whether enjoyed with seafood, poultry, or vegetarian delights, this wine's crispness and harmonious structure enhance the flavors of the accompanying dishes. Best enjoyed within 2 years.
