Presentation

Presentation
The "Vallée Loire" brand is a group of wines that are ambassadors for the Val de Loire AOP, marked by their character, freshness and accessibility.
Location
The vines are located in the Cher River Valley.
Terroir
The Touraine vineyards in the Cher River valley are located on hillsides with flinty clay soil and on slopes with siliceous soil and clay subsoil, where the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety expresses all its subtle complexity.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested in the coolest part of the day and pneumatic pressing releases the juice from the grapes slowly and gently. Following a short skin contact on fine lees, low-temperature fermentation (16-18°C) preserves a maximum of the varietal aromas.
Ageing
Aged on fine lees before bottling.
Varietal
Sauvignon blanc : 100%
