VINEYARD
From vineyards scattered throughout the Touraine Chenonceaux appellation, it represents the excellent Sauvignon Blanc of the Loire. For the wine ta express itself fully we look for deep, rich soils in which the Sauvignon grows without constraints. The vines are carefully selected for their aromatic potential and the quality of their grapes
VINIFICATION & AGEING
This unique wine is made from our old vine parcels planted in clay and flint soils on the Cher hillsides. The parcels are carefully selected and the wine undergoes cold stabulation for 10 days followed by 9 months of ageing. The result is an authentic and exceptionally high quality Chenonceaux!
FOODPAIRING
The terroir and the fruit coexist harmoniously. Versatile, seductive, we recommend it with summer salads, mussels mariniere, cod on the griddle with grilled vegetables.
