It specially develops blackcurrant, box tree and citrus fruits aromas. The white wines of Loire have a taste of flowers, white citrus fruits and blackcurrant.
The Sauvignon Blanc bunch of grapes are compact. They really soak themselves up the soils and the climate, explaining the diversity of aromas it generate. The grape is small with a thick peel, and a golden yellow colour at maturity.
It is provided with a vibrating sourness, a thin texture but sharp and nuances which echoes the aromas we talked above. These variations come from climatological factors and then, are adjust according to the elaboration. It’s research for its structure, its freshness and its minerality.
