Location
The vineyards of tis Touraine Sauvignon is settled near the Cher River valley, closed to the famous castle of Chenonceaux, Chambord and Amboise.
Terroir
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.
