The Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from the Touraine AOP, located at the heart of the Loire Valley wine region. The fruit comes from a combination of vineyards situated on the river banks of the Cher River, a tributary of the Loire River, and vineyards in the Sologne. The soils in the Cher River vineyards are clay with Silex, a revered flinty soil renowned for imparting mineral complexity to the wine. The clay and sand in the Sologne vineyard are relatively cool soils and offer good water retention properties, which hydrate the vines through the hot, dry summer ripening period. This is a richly flavoured wine, which reveals complexity due to its origins from multiple vineyard blocks.

| Winery | This family-owned winery is the venture of Joost and Miguela de Willebois, descendants of an old French family, established in the Netherlands since the 19th century (where the V became a W). Passionate about French culture and the Loire Valley, Joost and Miguela settled in Touraine in 1996 after being enchanted by Loire Sauvignon Blanc. They cultivate a range of terroirs across appellations within the Loire Valley, combining modern techniques, innovation and experimentation with respect for the soils and the terroir. They fully believe that by being as close to nature as possible, they can capture the land's soul. Patrice Merceron, winemaker and agricultural engineer, joined in 2014 and guided a team of dedicated winegrowers and winemakers to produce stunning Sauvignon Blanc wines which reflect the nuances of the Loire Valley. |
