Why choose this wine:

The Bel-Air Blanc 2021 embodies Valentin Desloges’ vision: to craft a world-class white wine from Touraine capable of standing alongside the most prestigious cuvées. Sourced from old vines planted on deep clay-limestone soils enriched with iron, this 100% sauvignon undergoes an extended two-year maturation in exceptional oak barrels, including rare ex-Coche-Dury casks, followed by an additional year of bottle aging. The result is a wine of precision, complexity, and energy, with a saline signature that highlights the purity of the terroir. With its aging potential of 15 years or more, this is a rare collector’s bottle for lovers of fine gastronomy and great Loire whites.

The color is bright, with golden highlights. The nose offers remarkable aromatic intensity, unfolding layers of candied citrus, ripe pineapple, and elderflower. On the palate, the wine reveals exceptional complexity, combining freshness, volume, and refinement. The texture is silky and expansive, beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity. A subtle touch of delicate oak adds depth without overshadowing the wine’s identity, leading to a long, saline-driven finish. A gastronomic sauvignon blanc of elegance, precision, and persistence.
