Introduction:
A graceful white from the Loire Valley, the 2023 Domaine De L’Estang Coteaux du Giennois Blanc delivers a lively and expressive showcase of Sauvignon Blanc—crisp, vibrant, and distinctly Loire in character.
Terrior:
Vines are planted on Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils along the Loire River, benefiting from the cool river influence and continental climate. This terroir imparts minerality, freshness, and expressive aromatics.
Appearance:
Pale lemon with glints of green, showing clarity and youthful vibrancy.
Nose:
Bright and aromatic, with notes of grapefruit, lime blossom, green apple, and a hint of gooseberry, coupled with subtle flinty and herbal undertones.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with juicy acidity and a rounded texture. Flavors of citrus zest, green pear, Honeydew melon, and stone fruit unfold, complemented by a mineral-driven core and grassy freshness.
Finish:
Clean, juicy, and mineral-focused, with citrus and light herbal echoes lingering for a crisp, refreshing aftertaste.
Overall Impression:
An elegant, food‑friendly Loire blanc that balances freshness with depth. Ideal with oysters, goat cheese, seafood pasta, or green vegetables. Enjoy now–2026.
