Domaine de l'Aumonier - Touraine Sauvignon Blanc (2020)

About the wine

This exceptional wine comes from vines averaging 20 years old growing in the communes of Couffy, Seigy and Chateauvieux just south of the Cher River, a major tributary of the Loire. The Loire Valley is an open window to the Atlantic, blessing the region with clement weather. L’Aumonier’s soils range from tufa hillsides rich in clay and limestone to flatter sites of flint and clay, sand and clay, and silt and clay. Ferments are typically spontaneous (the occasional difficult tank may get a dose of neutral yeast) and the wine is raised in tank. There's no fining during élevage and only a light filtration at bottling. Production averages 8,500 cases.

A fresh white wine bursting with orchard fruits and punching well above its modest classification. Light, dry, and crisp with flavors and aromas of citrus, green apple, and apricot with notes of honey and mineral. Toothsome and dry, it begs the question: Do you really need Sancerre?

Pairs well with Appetizers, Seafood, Vegetables, and Goat's Milk Cheese.
