In Fonteguenand, Domaine Sébastien Vaillant (30 ha) produces an organic Valençay Blanc from 80% Sauvignon and 20% Chardonnay.
Direct pressing, partial skin maceration, and lees ageing deliver bright green reflections, intense aromas of blackcurrant, white flowers, and flinty minerality.
The palate is rich and long, with peach, apricot, and citrus notes.
Best served at 10–12 °C, with 2 years of ageing potential.
Perfect with seafood, fish, white meats, and Valençay goat cheese.
