Domaine de la Ragotière 2024 Sauvignon Blanc
French White
Green apple, lemon zest, gooseberry and white peach lead with fresh herbs and a cool wet-stone note. Lively and crisp, the palate carries bright citrus and a restrained tropical accent over chalky mineral texture. Clean acidity keeps the shape precise, extending into a fresh, elegant and persistent finish.
Domaine de la Ragotière 2019 Cœur de Schistes Chardonnay
French White
Citrus, white peach and delicate flowers open with a quiet touch of oak. Elegant and layered, the palate balances ripe fruit with vibrant acidity and fine mineral tension from mica-schist soils. The texture is generous without becoming heavy, carrying purity, subtle complexity and poised freshness through a long, harmonious finish.

Vineyard rows are grassed, and the grapes are harvested at night. Pneumatic pressing includes skin maceration and juice selection, followed by cold settling. Fermentation is protected from oxygen, and the wine rests for three months. The wine is organic.

French White
Dry and fresh, with a clear, light and restrained profile, this Sauvignon Blanc is made under the Val de Loire IGP.

At twelve percent alcohol, it has medium ageing potential and can gain complexity and finesse over time in the cellar.

The palate is dry and savoury, with rose petal, ripe tannins and juicy acidity. The finish is long and mouthwatering. Cabernet Franc comes from the Loire, and the wine is certified organic. Alcohol is stated at 13.5 percent.
