Tasting note

An expressive combination of green fruit, fresh-cut grass and minerals on the nose, followed by a crisp mouthful of greengage, lime and gooseberry.

Viticulture

Franck & Betty’s Sauvignon Blanc is grown at 6,500 vines/ha on chalk-clay soils using the Guyot system. This third-generation family winery in Bué, 4km from Sancerre, crafts insolite from the chalkiest parcels of its 24-hectare estate.

Vinification

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are pressed as soon as they are picked. The must is allowed to settle, then the alcoholic fermentation begins. A few weeks later, the wine is clarified with a natural filtering agent (a clay soil derivative) to eliminate impurities. Lastly, it is racked, filtered and bottled.

Food Match

This premium Loire Sauvignon is particularly well matched to shellfish but also delicious with fresh asparagus, salads and goats cheese.
