Le Clos Du Tue Boeuf Vin Blanc, Loire France

100% Sauvignon Blanc, the “Vin Blanc” is the starting point for Tue-Boeuf’s whites. The fruit comes from Touraine vines which the Puzelat family works organically. The fruit is hand-harvested, whole-cluster-pressed, fermented spontaneously with natural yeasts in tank and not racked. The wine shows ripe aromas of pear, fig, almond, lemon confit, fines herbes and stone. The palate is ripe and round but balanced by firm acidity and mineral flavors framing the ripe white fruits. The finish is long and juicy with bright acidity and chalky minerals.

This wine has an alcohol level of 11.5%.
