Region
A Loire region south of Touraine, which retains the VDQS appellation (considered somewhere between AC and VdP in quality terms) for its varietal wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Gamay and more. They represent classic fresh Loire styles and accessible pricing.
Producer
Haut Poitou lies a short distance to the south of the Loire Valley, near the town of Poitou. This forward thinking co-operative has long established a reputation for crisp, clean uncomplicated Loire varietals.
Tasting Notes
This Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc has vibrant aromatics include nettle, gooseberry and elderflower leading to equally expressive flavours on the palate whilst retaining a core of citrus acidity with a refreshing streak of flinty minerality to provide a long, crisp and clean finish.
Food
Drink as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to summer salads with goats cheese, grilled asparagus, shell fish, grilled or even fried fish.
