Freshness from the Loire, an explosion of aromas!

The lively, aromatic dry whites of the Loire play the freshness card with style and character! 

Thanks to the diversity of the terroirs in the Loire, Sauvignon Blanc in particular releases straightforward, powerful aromas of tangy citrus fruit, crunchy exotic fruit and that famous vegetal touch that is the grape variety's undisputed signature. 

Do you like whites that wake up your taste buds? Their lively minerality and thirst-quenching acidity are much appreciated by lovers of Loire whites.

Ready, set, taste!

These lively, aromatic dry whites are true gastronomic allies. As an aperitif, they'll wake up your taste buds without fuss; at the table, they'll bring out the flavours of shellfish, seafood or even the region's goat cheeses. Perfectly balanced, accessible yet sophisticated, they adapt to every taste with disconcerting naturalness.

 You've been warned: this is a real concentrate of Loire know-how to be savoured straight away.
