VINEYARD
Grown and vented in the “Sologne Viticole” area (a Touraine sub-area) on “clay and sandy soils”.
WINEMAKING
The grapes are machine-picked, pressed into a pneumatic press after 12 hours skin-contact maceration. The grape juices are fermented traditionally in tanks during 7 to 15 days.
AGEING
The newly made wine is aged on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks during 6 months. It is then blended and bottled in the spring following the harvest.
FOOD PAIRING
Great to enjoy as an apéritif. Goes well with white meats and vegetarian or oriental dishes.
Tasting notes
COLOR
Green color.
NOSE
Our TOURAINE SAUVIGNON BLANC VIEILLES VIGNES has very intense vegetal flavors on the nose.
PALATE
Boxwood, gooseberry and green asparagus aromas dominate a tense and mineral palate. It is a complex cuvée, with a long lasting acidity and flavors reminiscent of the Great Loire Sauvignon Blanc. The best of Touraine captured in this “Terroir” cuvée.
