CHEREAU CARRE, SAUVIGNON DE TOURAINE - LES PETITS FAITEAUX
Touraine is a very important Loire region, centred on the town of Tours. Soil and climate vary considerably throughout Touraine, where a large range of grape varieties are planted. The Sauvignon Blanc grape tends to be grown in the far east of the region.
Chereau Carre is one of the leading Muscadet producers with substantial family owned vineyards in some of the best locations in the Loire. Their vineyard area totals 267 acres of the highest quality soil, making them one of the largest producers of wines from the Loire Valley.
Grapes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Vinification: Grapes are crushed. Fermentation takes place at 18oC in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is racked before being bottled.
Soil: Sand and clay.
Serve: Chilled at 9oC. To accompany shellfish, seafood and fish.
Taste: Subtle aroma of Sauvignon; a crisp and dry wine with a very pleasant fragrance.
