About the Vineyard :
"It is no accident that the best Sauvignon wines come from the Pouilly Sur Loire region! The Sauvignon Blanc grape variety finds a climatic balance in these terroirs bringing it to sublime expression. Too much heat burns the Sauvignon grape and its aromas become neutral. Without enough sun, ripeness is not reached and vegetal tones jarringly dominate. Pouilly’s continental climate is sufficiently cool and yet temperate thanks to the warmth of the Loire River bringing roundness and richness. Nature’s subtle delicateness has no equal anywhere else."
