J de Villebois Loire Cuvee Touraine

Varietal:
100% Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes:
Pale golden eye with silvery tinges. The rich and complex nose discloses aromas of exotic fruits and lemon sorbet upholstered by delicate vegetal and mineral notes. The palate is elegant and crunchy with a delicate acidity that lingers on the long and complex finish.

Food Pairing: 
An excellent ambassador of his region, he excels with goat cheeses from the Loire Valley : Valançay, Sainte Maure de Touraine or Selles sur Cher. We also love it with green asparagus or as an aperitif!

Serving temperature: 8-10°C

Vineyard:
The Sologne plateau stretches from the Loire (in the North) to the banks of the Cher (in the South). The vineyard thrives on the sandy clays of the plateau and the flinty clays of the Cher Valley. Composed of a multitude of plots, like a mosaic, we exploit these differences to obtain the greatest possible complexity. Cultivation practices are adapted to the specificities of the many terroirs. In keeping with traditions, the objective is to reach optimal maturity each year for the individual plots.

Vinification:
With each new vintage our Touraine tradition continues to evolve with us. Experience is what guides us each year in our vinification choices. This wine is made from a blend of parcels across Touraine and the harvests are spread out over several weeks in order to ensure optimum levels of ripeness. The grapes are picked at night as the cool temperatures help to protect their fragile aromas. Fermentation takes place at controlled
temperatures of 16-18°C.
