The grapes were harvested from the really old vines of Touraine’s most highly valued silex, clay and stony soils, which are often described as ‘flinty’, with half a year of ageing of fine lees. It is the epitome of the more classic, rather Old World style Sauvignon Blanc image that has found itself halfway between the aromas and the place of growth. A deep greenish-yellow colour, vegetal aromas of grass, mint, nettle and hemp. A taut, long and mineral wine.
The philosophy of Joost de Villebois is about finding the best of Sauvignon Blanc through discarding all things conventional, though by treating the Loire Valley terroir with respect. Vivid green wines from the vineyards of Touraine, Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and Quincy.
