This cuvée from Domaine de la Chaise is produced exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc vines classified under the AOC Touraine Chenonceaux, made from 100% Sauvignon grapes. The winery, run by the Davault family since 1850, is known for its siliceous soils on the banks of the Cher river, producing a golden yellow wine with aromas of exotic fruits and citrus.
Appellation: Touraine Chenonceaux
Region: Loire Valley
Grape variety: This wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Soil Type: Siliceous soils over a layer of limestone along the Cher River and tributaries
Winemaking: Hand-harvested Sauvignon Blanc, gently pressed, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel.
Tasting Notes: Dusty notes of flower pollen introduce the aromatics of this Sauvignon Blanc from the Touraine Chenonceaux AOC, revealing nuances of beeswax, salted lemon peel, and a hint of nectarine flesh. The palate is textured and creamy, layered with ripe white peaches, honeyed apricots, and a warm, spiced candied-ginger finish.
Pairings: Pairs beautifully with goat cheese crottins, seared scallops, citrus-herb roasted chicken, and delicate sushi or sashimi selections.

Vintage 2023: 90/100 Wine Enthusiast & Decanter
"Muddled Anjou pear, Gala apple and freshly picked honeysuckle aromas effortlessly mingle on the nose along with a handful of dried hay. The palate is fresh and steely yet manicured in its precision that raises crushed stone and hints of dried lemon peel on the finish." - Reggie Solomon from Wine Enthusiast
