Sébastien Vaillant learnt winemaking as the cellar manager for Jean Tatin at Domaine des Ballandors in Quincy. He then returned to his 22 hectare family domaine in Valençay, in the western part of the Loire’s Central Vineyards. Valençay achieved official AC status from the 2002 vintage and is the only area to hold this for both its wine and its distinctive pyramid-shaped goat’s cheese, which is also the ideal accompaniment for the wine.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a light yellow colour, this wine presents a grassy and citrus nose bursting with Sauvignon Blanc aromas. Adding 20% Chardonnay to the blend creates a creamy, rounded palate with the lively Sauvignon acidity balanced out by the roundness of the rich Chardonnay. Slight mineral note on the finish.
