Franck and his wife Betty are the third generation of the family to carry on the winemaking traditions in their Loire Valley vineyards, farming traditionally and producing Sauvignon Blanc of real precision and character.

About This Wine

Tasting Notes

Colour: Pale lemon with green tints—bright and elegant
Nose: Fresh-cut grass, lime, and flinty minerality.
Palate: Clean, ultra-crisp, and medium-bodied, with layers of gooseberry, lime, and greengage fruit
Finish: The mineral finish is precise and long, beautifully reflecting its limestone-rich soils

Food Pairing

Perfect with oysters, shellfish, light white fish. Also excellent served chilled as an aperitif.
