Tasting notes
An aromatic, dry Sauvignon Blanc with generous exotic fruit and a subtle mint note. Fresh and tangy on the palate, with a lingering fruity finish.
Producer profile
Patrick Vauvy manages a family domaine above the River Cher. Its mainly sandy soils and his preference for fully ripe grapes give the wines an expressive, fruit-led style.
Viticulture and winemaking
Careful pruning and thinning control yields. Ripe grapes are gently pressed, with brief skin contact for a small portion. Fermentation begins with native yeasts under temperature control, preserving the wine's aromatic character.
Food pairing
Try with asparagus, goat's cheese dishes or tuna.
