WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine de la Villaudière Charme de Loire Sauvignon Blanc is a captivating expression of the Sauvignon Blanc grape, showcasing the expertise of its producer in the heart of the Loire Valley. Crafted since 2010 under a negociant label, this wine expands beyond its native Sancerre region to highlight the diverse terroirs of the Central Loire. Sourced from three esteemed producers in Saint Romain Sur Cher, the grapes undergo meticulous vinification in Sancerre, resulting in an IGP Val de Loire classification. This Sauvignon Blanc undergoes a traditional winemaking process, fermenting and aging in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 4 to 6 months on its lees. The result is a wine of consistent quality, boasting vibrant acidity, enticing aromatics, and a crisp, refreshing finish—a true testament to the potential of this renowned grape variety in the Loire Valley.
