The vineyards of Chateau Gaillard are situated on the hills
which dominate the northern side of the river Loire between Amboise and Blois
in the very heart of the appellation Touraine-Mesland.
Since 1978, Vincent Girault has sought to produce wines true to the character
of their “terroir”. In 1989, the property of Chateau Gaillard is cultivated
following biodynamic methods to conserve the ancestral quality of its
vineyards.
A neighbor to Sancerre in the Loire, Touraine produces some fabulous,
inexpensive Sauvignon Blancs. All the wines carry the “Demeter” label, a
guarantee of quality.
Tasting Notes: Pale yellow with green hints. Very
characteristic of its variety, flowery, delicate. Fruity, dry, supple and
silky. White from pure Sauvignon grape, this fresh wine exhales perfume of the
grape. This wine’s crisp acidity with notes of grapefruit would be delicious
with bouillabaisse or cheese, canapés, olives cake or asparagus. |
