PRODUCER
The Loire Valley region is world renowned for the quality of Touraine wines produced on its blond flints terroir (the two last flint cutters of the world live in Meusnes!). These clay limestone soils are very suitable for vines and the Loire Valley's cool climate is also a key to success for Sauvignon Blanc growing especially.
 
Winemaker Oliver Sinson was fascinated by winemaking and started studying viti-viniculture in 1995 at Amboise wine school (next to Tours) and was incorporated into the company in 1999 to support and to work with his father in the domaine.
 
Today, Hubert and Annick Sinson, patriarch and matriarch of Sinson family and I, Olivier Sinson, are the owners of EARL Hubert & Olivier Sinson situated in Meusnes in the heart of Loire Valley.
 
We are independent winemakers and we have always been in contact with earth, grapes and wine. Today, my parents are retired but still live in the family house and I'm the chief winemaker. Every year, I do my best to create top quality wines according to my philosophy for the consumer.
 
TASTING NOTES
This wine is light lemon in colour with a lovely grassy, citrus nose showing plenty of zesty Sauvignon Blanc aromas. The creamy palate has great balance with lively acidity from the Sauvignon rounded out by the richer Chardonnay, with a mineral note on the finish.
