- Intense gooseberry and citrus aromas lead to a palate bursting with blackcurrant and green asparagus flavours. Refreshing and crisp, with an uplifting finish, this wine displays the signature freshness of the finest Loire vintages. The warm and sunny conditions of 2022 gave us this outstanding wine.
The IGP Val de Loire is a region renowned for its elegant, fresh whites. The region follows the course of the River Loire, where, inland, the vineyards are influenced by a relatively continental climate, with cold winters and hot summers. As the region gets closer to the Atlantic Ocean, maritime influences mitigate the extremes in climate. The grapes for this wine were grown in vineyards on the banks of the Loire River, where the soils are made of clay with flint. The clay element has good water retention properties to hydrate the vines during the hot summers, while the flint element imparts the characteristic mineral characteristic to the wine. The grapes were picked at night to preserve the fresh fruit flavours.

Winery | This family-owned winery is the venture of Joost and Miguela de Willebois, descendants of an old French family, established in the Netherlands in 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. |
