Presentation
Location
The Touraine vineyard in the Cher valley is located around Saint-Aignan sur Cher.
Terroir
It is located on the hillside, on a flinty clay soil; and on the slope, on a siliceous soil on clay to express the intensity and crunchiness of the Sauvignon grape variety.
Winemaking
Grapes are harvested at controlled maturity for aromas of fresh and ripe fruit.
Cold stalling of the must for a week to exacerbate these aromas. Fermentation in stainless steel vats thermo-regulated at 18°C in order to preserve the aromatic potential of the grapes.

Advice
Serving

Tasting
Pale yellow colour with a beautiful brilliance. The nose offers a remarkable aromatic palette, combining freshness (citrus fruit, blackcurrant buds) and maturity (lychees). Harmonious on the palate, round, fleshy, enhanced by a lively hint and endowed with great aromatic persistence.
Food pairings
Serve as an aperitif or with fish, savoury cakes, summer crudités (tomato mozzarella), tarragon verrines and goat's cheese.
Reviews
" La robe brillante et lumineuse couleur jaune pâle aux nuances vertes s'ouvre sur un nez expressif qui associe les odeurs des agrumes (pamplemousse) à des notes de bourgeon de cassis. La bouche à l'attaque souple offre une matière charnue, de la fluidité, un bel équilibre sur la fraîcheur, ainsi que des arômes floraux (genêt) et fruités (citron) qui persistent dans une finale croquante et longue. Beau Touraine sauvignon. " [+]
