Light, fruity wines from gravel soils, more structured and mineral tuffeau wines suited to ageing. Also lively rosés and rare Chenin whites. Touraine AOC west of Tours, one of France's northernmost red appellations, from everyday to age-worthy bottles.

The word of the wine: Balance
Harmony of the different organoleptic elements of a wine. The balance is linked to the typicity of each wine. The sweetness of a sweet wine is an element of its balance, whereas a Sancerre or a Chablis will be asked to be lively and dry.
