Sauvignon Blanc from the Touraine AOP; the great passion of Alain de la Treille. This wine is crisp and refreshing, with rich, ripe lime and grapefruit aromas. Great elegance with a mineral style.
Ideal for the Aperitif, any cooked fish such as smoked and grilled salmon but also obviously with a Goat Cheese.
"A pure and taut sauvignon blanc, showing gooseberry, wet stone, green apple and quince on the nose, following through to a taut expression of citrus and stone fruit on the palate. Drink now."

"This wine is densely packed, hiding its stony, citrusy acidity deep in its own recesses. That initial reticence gives way to nectarine and wildflower scents in the finish, suggesting this will open more fully in six months."

"Another terrific value brought in by Kysela is the 2017 Touraine Sauvignon Blanc, which saw a little bit of skin maceration and six months on lees in tank. Beautiful lime, mint, and flinty minerality all emerge from this medium-bodied, vibrant, pure white that offers plenty of character. It leans toward the racy end of the spectrum yet has good texture. Drink it over the coming year or two.”
