Château de Quincay Sauvignon Blanc AOC Touraine 2022, 0,75 L

Here's a shining example of Sauvignon Blanc from Touraine in the Val de Loire, demonstrating the exceptional drinkability of wines from this region. While the Loire Valley is renowned for Sauvignon Blanc, with Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé leading the charge, there are hidden gems to be discovered, such as those from Château de Quincay.

In the glass, the wine presents a pale straw-like yellow hue with delicate green reflections. The nose is distinctly Sauvignon Blanc, marked by a prominent mineral note. It exudes aromas of yellow fruits, followed by redcurrant, citrus hints, and a touch of floral notes—showcasing ripe fruit characteristics. The initial sip evokes the sensation of biting into ripe, juicy fruits. It's fruity, and immensely pleasant, with well-balanced acidity that lends freshness and a subtle sweetness, underscored by notes of gooseberry and redcurrant. Highly drinkable, it culminates in a satisfying medium finish—simply enjoyable, prompting the bottle to quickly disappear during tasting.

A true recommendation for an almost effortlessly enjoyable Sauvignon Blanc from France, offered at a fantastic price point.
