Tasting notes
Remarkably aromatic with pleasant flower and fruit fragrances recalling the flower of the vine and the fruit of the Sauvignon. On the palate it reveals a freshness and vivacity characteristic of grapes harvested at good maturity. Citrus, apple and gooseberry aromas with hints of passion fruit are often found in this lively and bright wine.
Food pairing
Here is an excellent aperitif that is also outstanding with fish, seafood and certain white meats. Enjoy Petit Bourgeois with a halibut steak in lemon
butter, a kingfish carpaccio, some grilled white fish or a Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese.
Vinification
This Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc take advantage of 10th generation of winemaking experience of our family. It ferments in thermo-regulated
stainless steel tanks at cool temperature in order to have longer fermentations and more intense aromas. The wine then matures for 3 months on its fine lees before bottling.
Viticulture and 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.
