Touraine Sauvignon

In Monthou-sur-Cher, near Château de Chenonceau, Domaine Desloges (20 ha) grows Sauvignon on clay-siliceous “perruches” soils. Mechanical harvest, partial skin maceration, and lees aging in stainless steel tanks deliver a pale-gold wine with intense aromas of white flowers and citrus. Rich and long on the palate, finishing with freshness. Best served at 10 °C, with 3–4 years of cellaring potential. Perfect with seafood, grilled fish, or goat cheese.
