Clos Roussely

Fresh flowers and citrus lead a lively, balanced palate where acidity meets rounded texture and clear fruit. Sauvignon Blanc comes from twenty-year-old vines on clay-limestone soils in Touraine. Harvesting combines hand and mechanical picking. Fermentation proceeds slowly with indigenous yeasts, followed by ageing on fine lees. The vineyard is in conversion to organic farming, and the wine carries 12.5 percent alcohol.
