Loire Valley
A nose with white fruit and floral notes – difficult to guess this is Sauvignon on the nose, so removed we are from the clichés of the variety. Palate: sublime substance, depth, and a finish with noble bitter notes and incredible length. A wine of great class, a favourite at our tasting.
Sauvignon farmed biodynamically (though not certified) and planted on nine plots between 0.11 and 0.47 ha in size, with yields of 14 to 45 hl/ha. The soils include clay-limestone in Chéry, St Romain and Les Coignons, alluvial gravel in Reuilly and Lury, and clay and silt in Preuilly. Natural grassing grows between the vine rows. Vine training directs the plants skyward, in a search for verticality and clarity. Direct pressing, cold settling, 18 months of maturation in vats and casks that have seen several wines, then blending with little sulphur.
