Clos Roussely - Chenonceaux Blanc 2022

In 2001, Vincent Roussely became the fourth generation of his family to own the Clos Roussely, a castle in the village of Angé sur Cher in the Loire Valley, that his great-grandfather bought and turned into a winemaking facility in 1917. When he took over, Vincent resumed full control of the vineyards and winemaking space (his grandfather and father had rented out the vineyards and cellar to build a négociant wine company). The estate is located in the best areas of the Touraine and Touraine-Chenonceaux appellations, covering 8 hectares of certified organic vineyards on soils of clay and tuffeau limestone with large flint deposits. Vincent does not use herbicides, pesticides or chemicals and prides himself on protecting plant and animal diversity within the local ecosystem.

Vincent's Chenonceaux blanc is made from 100% old-vine Sauvignon Blanc grown in his organic vineyards. This beautiful white displays a deep straw yellow color and emits a bouquet of white flowers, citrus and lemon curd. There are citrus and exotic tropical fruits on the attack which lead to a supple, richly textured mid-palate that is braced by a delightful acidity. This Chenonceaux blanc finishes long and refreshing. A great option for sushi and sashimi night. Pair with most seafood dishes, including crab-stuffed flounder or grilled salmon.
