Fruits mainly come from the 3 main terroirs of Touraine: sandy soils from the Cher banks creating light and fresh wine, arigilo-silicious soils for late harvested long-ageing wines and finally chalky soils for charming and fruity wines with exotic aromas. Harvest at optimal maturity but without surmaturation. Classic white vinification: pressing, static clarification, alcoholic fermentation with controlled and regulated temperature between 15°-20°C. Long ageing on fine lies in stainless steel vats in order to allow the wine to enrich to develop along ageing potential and to keep all of the aromatic freshness of Sauvignon Blanc. Throughout the vinification process, Vignerons de Franc doing their best to protect their wines from oxidation.
