Chameleon whites with taut acidity, ranging from mineral dry (Savennières, Vouvray sec) to off-dry and medium-sweet (Vouvray, Montlouis), sumptuous botrytised sweet (Quarts-de-Chaume, Bonnezeaux, Coteaux du Layon) and brilliant sparkling (Crémant de Loire, Vouvray brut). Aromas of quince, apple, honey, white flowers, beeswax and flint. An Anjou variety, also star of South Africa's Western Cape.
Emblematic upper Loire vineyard (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Quincy, Reuilly, Menetou-Salon, Coteaux du Giennois, Châteaumeillant, Pouilly-sur-Loire). Sauvignon Blanc: the signature white, taut and expressive with vivid citrus, grapefruit, boxwood, white flowers and a smoky-mineral edge (Pouilly flint), brilliant acidity. Pinot Noir: the signature red, elegant and silky with cherry, sour cherry and floral hints, and in lively rosés. A world reference for Sauvignon Blanc.
