Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, high acidity, dry
Loire Sauvignon in its classic register — gooseberry and lemon with a blackcurrant-leaf lift and a chalky, mineral finish. Touraine sits just downriver from Sancerre and makes the same grape in a leaner, more direct style: less flamboyant than Marlborough, more about texture and stone than tropical fruit. Bracingly dry and built for the table. Drink it young and often; freshness is the point.
