Decanter Award Winner 2023 - Gold Medal - 95 Points

Stylish white pear, gooseberry and greengage aromatics unfold, with a burst of mineral freshness, a bright acidity and a deliciously long finish. Excellent quality.

Everyone loves a good Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé, the two most famous villages from the Loire. And this great value new addition to our range is another fine example of exactly what the Loire Valley does so well: delicious dry Sauvignon Blanc!

Dating back to 1885 this is the 6th generation of the Bougrier family to farm these vineyards. Based in the Touraine region of the Loire Valley, the family are still as passionate about the quality of their wines today, as seen in this estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc.

It’s super expressive and offers clean grassy and citrus fruit aromas and a fresh palate of gooseberry and grapefruit notes.

“A vin de France sauvignon blanc made in the Touraine style, this wine smells so strongly of freshly mown grass that you can almost hear the lawnmower. A clipped wine, which also has notes of river rock.”
