Its colour is limpid with sparkling reflections. On the nose, aromas of citrus fruit, grapefruit, and of fresh lemon. Striking on the palate with a beautiful body. A little roundness, but which remains with a nice balance and liveliness at the end.

Region and Appellation Information
Loire

Region – Loire

The Loire is France's longest river, running almost 400km from the Massif Central westwards to the Atlantic, and gives its name to one of the country's most diverse wine regions. Spanning some 57,000 hectares across Loire-Atlantique, Anjou-Saumur, Touraine, and the Centre, it produces the full range of styles - fresh, light whites from Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc, elegant reds and rosés from Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, and Gamay, plus sweet and sparkling wines. Its western vineyards enjoy a maritime Atlantic climate, while the more easterly Centre is cooler and continental, and its chalky limestone soils help the wines retain their signature freshness and acidity. Home to 69 appellations, including the famous Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, the Loire offers something to please every palate.

Appellation – Quincy

A small white-wine appellation in the Centre-Loire, west of Bourges, made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc. One of the oldest appellations in France - granted AOC status in 1936 - it lies on free-draining sand and gravel soils along the river Cher that suit the variety beautifully. The wines are crisp, dry, and aromatic, showing zesty citrus, green fruit, and floral notes over a fresh, mineral palate.
