EXPERIENCE RANGE

Christophe BAUDRY and Jean-Martin DUTOUR are writing a new chapter in their story by establishing themselves in the heart of Touraine. After months of exploration, they acquired several parcels of land near Noyers-sur-Cher to create a vineyard dedicated to the flagship grape of the region: SAUVIGNON BLANC and they rediscovered the cultivation of Côt, local name of Malbec. They took over Florence VEILEX’s vineyard, continuing her environmental commitments by adopting the Organic Agriculture specifications and complementing the Domaine’s plots with terroirs from the right bank of the Cher River.

VINTAGE

After a mild and wet winter, the vine budburst was among the earliest. With a sunny spring, frosts spared the vineyard, which continued its early development . The summer drought concentrated the grapes, producing small but healthy and rich bunches. The life-saving rains at the end of August prevented ripening blockages, ensuring a harvest in optimal conditions. Ultimately, an early vintage with exceptional ripeness and quality.

TASTING

Expressive nose of violet and blackcurrant. The fruit and flower aromas unfold on the palate after a smooth and rounded attack. A juicy and drinkable wine.

FOOD & WINE PAIRING

Perfect for enjoying with a charcuterie board as aperitif, it will also pair well with a sausage rougail, duck breast with red fruits, tuna steak, or a sweet and savory salad.
