About this product +

Producer >

Situated on the right bank of the Cher river, this 21 ha property is today run by Cyril Desloges, the 4th generation of winemakers in his family. Joining his father Gérard at the domaine in 1997, Cyril quickly set about replanting the family’s cereal and vegetable fields with vines, within two years expanding the vineyard holdings from 11 to 21 hectares. 40% of the land is planted with Sauvignon Blanc on clay/sand/limestone soils. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks in order to accentuate the bright aromas and fruit of the variety.

Viticulture >

Situated on the eastern bank of the Cher River, in the heart of the Touraine appellation, the vineyards cover 20 hectares. The soils are composed of flint and sand mixed with clay, cultivated using sustainable farming methods and adhering to the Terra Vitis charter.

Winemaking >

Mechanical harvest ; skin maceration of 40% of grapes ; penumatic pressing ; 15 days fermentation at a controlled temperature of 16°C. 2 months ageeing on fine lees with regular steering of lees.
