Producer Information

Christophe Davault, now joined by son Quentin, is a very talented winemaker. He makes wonderful Sauvignon Blancs and soft fruity reds. His Touraine Sauvignon Blanc is a benchmark Loire Sauvignon, with similar characteristics to a classic Sancerre.

Grapes

Sauvignon Blanc,

Production

Located around 225 kilometers (140 miles) from the Atlantic Ocean, and the same from the northern Massif Central hills of central France. As a result, the climate here falls somewhere between maritime and continental.

In summer, the slow-moving waters of the Loire do little to cool the Touraine vineyards. The region is known for its hot, torpid summer days.

There is, however, a noticeable variation in winter temperatures within Touraine. The district's eastern edge tends to have colder and drier winters. In the west of the region they are usually slightly wetter and more temperate.

Throughout the Touraine, the better vineyard sites are those blessed with free-draining soils rich in tuffeau. Tuffeau is the calcareous rock for which this part of the Loire Valley is famous. It was used as the building material for most the valley's famous chateaux. Tuffeau caves also proved perfect for long-term wine storage and ageing.

Tasting Notes

A classic Loire Sauvignon from the Cher region, to the west of Sancerre. Crisp and aromatic with lovely citrus fruit flavours. Superb value for money - better than many Sancerres at twice the price!

An ideal wine to enjoy on its own. Also great with seafood, fish, chicken and the goats' cheeses of the region.
