The Estate

In the heart of the Cher Valley of the Loire region, the vineyards of Francois de la Roche are located around the two villages of Oisly and Thésée. The soils around Oisly, from which these 30-year-old vines are from, are comprised of rounded flint and quartz gravel with a subsoil of clay. This composition imparts a distinct minerality to the wine.

Wine Making

Using 30-year-old vines planted in flinty clay soils, the grapes selected for this French sauvignon blanc are separated by plots and selected at the peak of ripeness. After being sorted and pressed, fermentation is done in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with a Mediterranean mezze plate, white meats, and grilled fishes.
