Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Touraine-Chenonceaux from Les Caves du Père Auguste, a five-generation family estate between Civray-de-Touraine and Chenonceaux with cellars dug into the tuffeau. 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the ripest grapes, the sub-appellation's rule, with lees ageing for a rounder texture. White flowers (hawthorn), ripe citrus and yellow fruit with a chalky tuffeau minerality; a fleshy attack balanced by vibrant acidity and a long, white-fruited finish. More substance than basic Touraine Sauvignon.
