Domaine Francois Chidaine - Touraine - Sauvignon Blanc 2020
Domaine François Chidaine is located in Montlouis-sur-Loire , in the Loire Valley. The vineyard covers 37 hectares; 20 hectares of Montlouis and 10 hectares of Vouvray . The vines are divided into around fifty plots which have been organically grown since 1992 and certified biodynamic since 1999. The remaining 7 hectares produce wines under the Touraine appellation. Looking to the future, François Chidaine began an adventure in Murcia, a province in southern Spain in 2010, where he produces a white wine and a red wine made from local grape varieties.
This cuvée is made from Sauvignon Blanc from plots with flint clay and clay-limestone soils located in towns in the Cher valley, in Touraine . After the manual harvest, the grapes are put into direct pressing. Fermentation begins spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in stainless steel vats on the lees .
Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
