Bougrier Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Famille Bougrier's Touraine Sauvignon Blanc is a fresh and light white wine with sumptuous exotic fruit aromas that are accompanied with a slight minerality. The wine provides a rounded and soft mouth feel on the palate, making it an ideal accompaniment to fresh fish dishes or Goats Cheese.

The family Bougrier were, by tradition, agricultural scientists. Their incredible achievements include the invention of a device for measuring the size of potatoes before digging them up, and a method for weighing cherries on a tree before they are picked. Their dream, however, was to find a way to lock particular aromas from the beautiful Touraine countryside into a tasty grape.

After years of experiment they succeeded. They created a grape brimming with the clean, fresh scents of springtime hedgerows. Elderflowers, young nettles and cut grass. What's more, they discovered the flavours were even more appealing when the grapes were made into wine.

Famille Bougrier is one of the last remaining family owned wine producers in the Loire Valley, having operated the business throughout 5 generations. They currently work with 2 wineries across the region; Caves De La Touraine in Touraine, Caves De L'Angvevine in Anjou and Caves De La Nantaise in Muscadet. Despite the winemakers being young, they offer a wealth of experience, knowledge and talent that reflects in the fresh and easy going wines they produce.
