- A refreshing and richly flavoured Sauvignon Blanc with exotic fruit flavours of juicy peach complemented by delicate notes of wild flowers. Soft and rounded, with a lovely crisp finish.
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from the Menetou-Salon AOP, which is located at the eastern end of the Loire Valley wine region. The fruit comes from a combination of vineyards which are situated in the villages of Morogues and Humbligny. The soils are made up of Kimmeridgian marls, a special combination of limestone and clay which provide good structure, ideal water-retention and are easy to cultivate. The soils are revered for producing fine and elegant wines. The climate is temperate with continental influences and wide variations in seasonal temperatures.
This family-owned winery is the venture of Joost and Miguela de Willebois, who are descendants from 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 soul of the land. Patrice Merceron, winemaker and agricultural engineer, joined in 2014 and guides a team of dedicated winegrowers and
winemakers to produce stunning Sauvignon Blanc wines, which reflect the nuances of the Loire Valley.
