Vincent Roussely is the fourth-generation winemaker at his family’s beautiful 8-hectare vineyard site in the heart of Chenonceaux, in the village of Angé on the Cher River, in the Loire Valley. The vineyards have been certified organic since 2007. He even transitioned vineyard work from machine and horse to doing all everything by hand in order to have the least impact on the soil, vines and grapes which he believes greatly improved the quality of the wines.
Tasting Notes
Vibrant tangerine colour. The nose is an interplay of fruity aromas and more herbal and botanical notes; sea buckthorn, passionfruit, lemon rind, dried apricot with hints grass, hay and spice. The palate is medium bodied, fresh and juicy with just the right amount of tea-tannins giving some grip. This wine will take your cheese and charcuterie board to the next level; enjoy it with a selection of funky cheese, pickled veggies and some good sourdough.
Method
Who knew Sauvignon Blanc could make an intensely orange coloured wine! This is a skin contact Sauvignon Blanc, meaning the white grapes are treated like red grapes during the winemaking process; the skins and juice undergo a period of maceration during colour and other phenolic elements are imparted to the wine. In this case, the grapes and skins undergo 3 weeks of maceration.
