DESCRIPTION

Coteaux du Giennois Blanc from Domaine de Villargeau is a crisp and elegant Loire Valley white wine made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc. Grown on limestone and flint soils along the Loire River, this cuvée offers a refined balance between aromatic intensity, minerality, and freshness. Pure and expressive, it reflects both the charm of the Coteaux du Giennois appellation and the precision of the estate's winemaking.

EYE

Pale gold with green reflections, clear and brilliant, suggesting freshness and vivacity.

NOSE

Expressive and precise, opening with aromas of citrus, grapefruit, and lime zest, complemented by hints of white peach, elderflower, and flint. The bouquet is both aromatic and mineral, typical of Loire Sauvignon.

MOUTH

Lively and well-balanced, with bright acidity and a fine, mineral texture. Flavors of lemon, green apple, and gooseberry unfold harmoniously, leading to a crisp, saline finish that lingers with purity and elegance.

PAIRING

Perfect with oysters, shellfish, sushi, grilled fish, or goat cheese. It also pairs beautifully with light salads, vegetable dishes, and seafood pastas — ideal for aperitifs or fresh, refined meals.

Domaine de Villargeau

Located near Cosne-sur-Loire, just north of Sancerre, Domaine de Villargeau is a family-owned estate run by the Gault family. The domaine covers about 25 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards planted on marl, limestone, and silex soils. The Gaults’ meticulous work in both vineyard and cellar results in wines that are vibrant, balanced, and faithful to their terroir — fresh expressions of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from this hidden gem of the Loire.

Loire

The Loire Valley is France's most diverse wine region, stretching along the country's longest river through the "Garden of France", famous for crisp whites, elegant reds, sparkling wines and fairytale châteaux.

Geographic position: Western and central France, following the Loire for about 1,000 km from the Atlantic coast near Nantes upstream through Anjou, Saumur, Touraine and Centre-Loire (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé), with around 160,000 acres of vines.

Origin & history: Vines were planted by the Romans and spread by monks such as Saint Martin of Tours in the 4th century. During the Renaissance, French kings built their châteaux here and drank local wines. The central Loire Valley was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.

Main appellations & varieties: Muscadet (Melon de Bourgogne), Anjou, Savennières, Saumur and Vouvray (Chenin Blanc), Chinon and Bourgueil (Cabernet Franc), Touraine, Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé (Sauvignon Blanc), plus Crémant de Loire sparkling wine.

Food specialties: Muscadet with oysters and seafood from Nantes, beurre blanc sauce with river fish, rillettes and rillons from Tours, Crottin de Chavignol and Sainte-Maure goat cheeses, and tarte Tatin, born in the Sologne.
