IGP Val de Loire Sauvignon Blanc 2017

The most oceanic Sauvignon Blanc from Loire Valley

Terroir & Winemaking

• Located in the South-West of Loire Valley, close to the Atlantic Ocean
• The parcel is between the two rivers Sèvre and Maine - The terroir profits of two different soils :
• 1st layer : siliceous clay alluvium
• 2nd layer : granit - 100% Sauvignon Blanc
• Manual harvest
• Cold maceration (12 hours)
• Alcoholic fermentation in concrete tank (special choice : stainless steel brings some reductive sulfure notes)
• Maturing 6 months on lees

Tasting notes - A clear and very bright pale colour.

• 1st nose : notes of limestone and citrus.
• 2nd nose : the wine opens up on fresh apricot and finishes on peppermint.
• The attack is very fresh. The wine got a beautiful balance between fruit and acidity. Like the nose, the apricot is fully present with a salty finish due to the ocean influence.

Food matching

Enjoy the Sauvignon Blanc with some fresh fish and chips, prawns, or simply alone on afternoon drinks.
