Mary Taylor - Touraine Sauvignon Luc Poullain 2022 (Pre-arrival)

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Touraine: the heart of the Loire Valley, home of the great châteaux, and the garden of France. This region’s range of climates and diversity of soils are a treasure trove for the winelover. On the left bank of the Loire’s tributary river Cher, not far from the stunning Château de Chenonceau, lie the vineyards of our vigneron Luc Poullain. Vines up to 70 years old grow on complex soils of sandy siliceous clay and limestone, sustainably farmed with lush grasses growing between the rows.  Our Touraine is a sublimely grassy, citrussy expression of its terroir, nuanced and invigorating.

Although red wines are also made here, it is the white wines from Sauvignon Blanc that have brought Touraine its vinous fame. Jancis Robinson notes that “the best of these can provide a less expensive alternative to Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume.”

This wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve its characteristic freshness and primary fruit, and spends up to a year on its fine lees to develop additional complexity before resting at least one month in bottle before release.  A beautiful expression of Touraine which is at home on the table, but nuanced and invigorating to enjoy by itself.
