Presentation
Presentation
This white Touraine has its roots in Saint-Romain-sur-Cher, in the southern part of the Loir-et-Cher region, in the eastern part of the appellation. This terroir is characterized by a strong presence of flint, conferring tension and exceptional minerality. This character is harmoniously balanced by the limestone soils, which bring structure and fullness. Here, Sauvignon Blanc enjoys ideal conditions to fully express its richness and potential.
