A vibrant white wine bursting with zesty citrus, gooseberry, and a refreshing mineral finish, perfect with goat's cheese
Vignerons de Valençay Sauvignon VdP du Val de Loire Valençay AOC, France, presents a vibrant white (blanc) still dry wine crafted from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Winemaker Sébastien Vaillant and Damien Boisseur's cooperative focuses on fruit-forward expressions, with this wine fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to maximise perfume and fruit character, avoiding oak influence. It offers bright aromas of citrus, gooseberry, and white peach, leading to a palate with attractive depth of lemon, green apple, and white peach, complemented by a charming mineral tone and crisp acidity. This zippy wine culminates in a refreshing, elegant finish, making it an ideal partner for distinctive pyramid-shaped goat’s cheese.

Vinification
The grapes were picked at night at very low temperatures and transferred to the winery as quickly as possible to minimise damage to the aromatic Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes were pressed gently in a pneumatic press, followed by a cool, slow fermentation in temperature-controlled vats to maximise perfume and fruit character. Only stainless steel was used. The wine was released when young and fresh with no oak or oxidative influence.
