Les Lunelus Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Made by Domaine Pierre Angier, a small family-run winery of several generations, this is a delightful, beautifully packaged unoaked expression of Loire Sauvignon Blanc that delivers plenty of character for the price.

Sauvignon Blanc is the key grape variety of the Touraine appellation. A continental climate, a combination of cold winters and warm summers paired with clay-limestone soil allows the perfectly healthy grapes used for this cuvée.

The grapes are gently pressed, and then the must settle for up to 24 hours. The fermentation started in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is bottled in March to preserve the characteristic vibrancy of the Sauvignon Blanc.
