WINE DESCRIPTION
Sauvignon Blanc vines at Domaine Bellevue in Touraine thrive on clay-limestone soils. Winemaker Patrick Vauvy focuses on limited yields to produce aromatic and valuable wine. The Touraine Sauvignon Blanc impresses with its fine aromas, gently fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. A true delight that can rival many Sancerres. The Sauvignon then rested on the lees for several weeks, resulting in a wine with a beautiful nose of grapefruit, gooseberries, limes, mango, nettles, sage, lemon balm, a hint of mint, and elderflower. Crisp, fresh, full-bodied on the palate, it offers aromatic fruit, subtle spiciness, tremendous charm, and a long finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Bright pale yellow with subtle green hues.On the nose, intense aromas of exotic fruits, particularly lychees, and a hint of rose. The palate reveals fruity flavors like citrus and exotic fruits, offering richness and good length. Patrick Vauvy excels at crafting everyday wines that are both elegant and aromatic. This wine pairs wonderfully with shellfish, seafood, cold fish platters, or as an aperitif.
