Touraine Chenonceaux Les Maselles

In 1996, Domaine Tardieux-Gal cleared a long-abandoned, southwest-facing parcel overlooking the Cher River. They planted the vines in 2003, which fell under the newly classified AOC of Touraine. This parcel of Sauvignon Blanc makes a fine, mineral-laden white wine. Domaine Tardieux-Gal's vines have been certified organic since 1998. Grapes are hand harvested and vinified with native yeasts, with no added sugar and only a small amount of sulfites used.
