Tasting Notes
Villargeau vineyards are in very close proximity (slightly up river) to those of Sancerre & Pouilly Fume. The result are wines similar in character, but considerably lower in price. Sauvignon Blanc responds well when growing in flint and chalk soils.
Pale yellow with silvery green highlights. The nose elicits notes of candied apricots and citrus. In the mouth, spicy vanilla notes reinforce the aromatic profile, The wine displays a Sancerre-like minerality and grainy texture.
