Why choose this wine:

The Chapitre 1 Blanc 2023 captures the essence of Touraine’s finest sauvignon blanc. Hand-harvested from meticulously tended vineyards, the grapes are fermented in oak barrels, including exceptional casks from Pillot and Coche-Dury, with 10% new oak for added finesse. There is no malolactic fermentation, preserving the vibrant freshness and identity of the terroir. This elegant sauvignon combines aromatic complexity, precision, and a saline-driven finish, making it a standout among Loire Valley whites. With its aging potential of 10 to 15 years, it is a collector’s bottle built to evolve beautifully over time.

The wine displays a bright, shimmering robe with silver and gold reflections. The nose is complex and enticing, opening on aromas of candied orange peel, pastry cream, and fresh pineapple, followed by hints of passion fruit and verbena upon aeration. On the palate, the attack is enveloping yet precise, leading to a vibrant mid-palate and finishing on a long, saline, mineral-driven note. A perfectly balanced sauvignon blanc, showcasing freshness, elegance, and depth.
