DESCRIPTION

"Les Calcaires" Sauvignon Blanc expresses a bright and pure interpretation of the grape, shaped by limestone-rich soils that lend freshness and clarity. The wine opens with citrus and white fruit notes, followed by delicate herbal tones that add lift and aromatic finesse. On the palate, it is crisp and finely textured, with a clean mineral line that guides a refreshing, balanced finish. Elegant and versatile, it is ideal for both apéritif moments and relaxed dining.

EYE

This wine shows a pale straw color with subtle green highlights, reflecting both its youth and its lively freshness, while the clarity in the glass suggests purity and careful winemaking.

NOSE

The nose reveals an expressive bouquet of lemon zest, grapefruit, and crisp green apple layered with delicate floral notes and a light herbal lift, creating a refined and refreshing aromatic profile.

MOUTH

On the palate, it is bright and precise, offering clean citrus and orchard fruit flavors supported by vibrant acidity. A subtle mineral edge adds definition, leading to a refreshing, balanced finish that invites another sip.

PAIRING

This Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with seafood, goat cheese, light salads, or fresh vegetable dishes. Its crisp texture and lively character also make it an ideal choice for apéritif gatherings and warm-weather dining.

Loire

With 2,000 years of history featuring kings'castles and fortresses, the Loire Valley is home to 31 appelations, starting in the Muscadet to the west near the Atlantic Ocean, passing by Chinon, Vouvray and the Touraine in the middle, to end to the famous village of Sancerre, located all the way to the East. This region cultivates 24 grape varietals which offer a very diverse tasting and culinary experience. From mineral whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc or Melon de Bourgogne (aka grape use in Muscadet) to light and spicy reds, such as Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir or Gamay. It is also France's third largest wine growing region, featuring a temperate climate and diverse terroirs influenced by the Atlantic ocean and the proximity of the Loire river. Enjoy white loire wines with goat cheese or seafood, and the reds with spicy cuisine and vegeterian dishes.
