2009 Touraine Sauvignon, Domaine La Bergerie, Jacky Marteau

Packed with crisp green fruit flavours this fresh Loire Sauvignon Blanc makes an apéritif par excellence.

Jacky Marteau's 'Domaine de la Bergerie' occupies some of Touraine's most enviable sites: south-facing, pebble-and-flint slopes beside the River Cher. Quality is paramount: low yields are encouraged by growing grass between vine rows, pruning is radical and leaves are plucked in summer to let the sun shine through. His meticulous approach extends to this basic Sauvignon Blanc cuvée with its crisp green fruit-packed palate and appetising citrus tang.
