Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The nose is classic skin contact white wine with aromas of orange peel, apricot, and just their citrus pith. The palate has white wine tannin for sure but well balanced by good acidity and flavors of candied orange peel, yellow fleshed stone fruits and clay minerality.

Extended maceration with the skins for the color. The vineyard is located in the heart of the village of Angé and overlooks the banks of the Cher. Located in the Touraine and Touraine-Chenonceaux appellation area. It extends over 8 hectares and certified in Organic agriculture since 2007. The oldest vines of the domain are 80 years of age. The clay-limestone soil with many flints, as well as the temperate climate allow a superb expression of Sauvignon Blanc . This variety represents 80% of the area of the estate. The soil is maintained with respect by plowing and scratching the soil. We do not use herbicides, pesticides and chemical molecules . The oldest vines are worked using horses. We act to protect plant and animal diversity on the farm. You can come across horses, donkeys, sheep while strolling through the Clos.
