Clos Roussely L'Escale Sauvignon Blanc

Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Harvested from young vines planted on clay and tuffeau soil. Natural fermentation in stainless steel. A juicy, fresh, and thirst-quenching Sauvignon, the perfect alternative to Sancerre without the price tag. Coming from Touraine, this Sauvignon ticks all the boxes: fleshy stone fruit, bright acidity, and minerality.

Vincent Roussely is the fourth generation of the family to make wines at this beautiful 8 hectare vineyard site in the heart of Chenonceaux on the Cher River. Since 2007 he has farmed his vineyards by hand machine and horse and as a result has seen the health of his vineyards, swards and grapes improve immeasurably, which naturally has a direct influence on the wines he produces. Planted mainly to Sauvignon Blanc, the soil is a mixture of clay and limestone with pockets of Silex where his oldest vineyards are situated, many of which are over 80 years old in the case of the cuvee Chenonceaux.
