Producer Information

Jean-Luc Mardon is the 5th generation of his family to run this 45 hectare domaine in Oisly, Touraine. He has been at the helm for 20 years, and it was his father, Guy, who first started working with Boutinot back in the 1980s. He is a quiet, fastidious winemaker which shows in the quality of his wines.

Jean-Luc Mardon’s estate is certified by Terra Vitis, which is a rigorous code of conduct for sustainable winemaking covering all aspects of production from vine to bottle.

Grapes

Sauvignon Blanc,

Production

Hand-picked, carefully selected estate fruit from the best parcels of old vines, 30-35 years old, grown on gentle south-facing slopes with sandy gravel soils. 20-25% of the harvest will be macerated on the skins, depending on the characteristics of the vintage. This is followed a slow fermentation at 18°C for three weeks in stainless steel vats. There is no malolactic fermentation. Wines are matured on their fine lees until bottling in the following spring.

Tasting Notes

Rich, single estate old vine Loire Sauvignon Blanc from a warm vintage, showing notes of exotic tropical fruits.

The nose is heady and herbaceous. The wine has significant palate weight, almost New World in style, with ripe passionfruit complemented by that herbaceous edge again. Very rounded with a rich texture and long finish.

A great choice for a wide variety of fish, chicken in a creamy sauce, fresh salmon.
