Wine and food
Light, discreet, elegant, this charming fruity wine asks for cuisine of the same sort. Fowl or other white meats are perfect as are a wide range of prepared cold meats such as a plate of French "charcuterie".
Tasting notes
Crisp and fruity, this red wine develops the harmonious notes of red fruits so representative of the Loire vineyards. Aromas of strawberries, redcurrants, and cherries “sweeten” by hints of spice. A wonderful freshness makes this wine delicate and easy to drink.
Viticulture ans Terroir
The grapes come from the slopes of the Loire Valley formerly known as "The Garden of France" due to its temperate climate perfect for growing vegetables, and of course vines. The king of France used to have their castles and gardens there.
Winemaking
This Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc take advantage of 10th generation of winemaking experience of our family. Following 10 to 12 days of maceration
to extract a maximum of fruit, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks – indispensable to achieve the Petit Bourgeois's finesse and suppleness.
