exclusive, unforgettable
The wines and vineyard landscapes of Sancerre and the Touraine region of the Loire Valley are a testament to the region's rich heritage and natural beauty.
In Sancerre, the vineyards stretch across sun-kissed hillsides, where the limestone and flint soils impart a distinct minerality to the wines. Known for its crisp, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc, Sancerre also produces delicate Pinot Noir, offering bright red berry flavours and elegant structure. The rolling vineyards, with views over the Loire River, create a stunning backdrop for these expressive wines.
Further west, the Touraine region unfolds as a vibrant mosaic of vineyards, orchards, charming villages and castles. Known for its diversity, Touraine produces a range of wines, from the crisp, floral whites of Vouvray made from Chenin Blanc, to the smooth reds of Bourgueil and Chinon crafted from Cabernet Franc.
The landscape is dotted with ancient castles and lush greenery, enhancing the charm of this wine-growing region. Here, the combination of varied terroirs and sustainable farming practices creates wines that are as complex and enchanting as the surrounding vineyard vistas.
