Les Abeilles 2020
Coteaux du Giennois AOC
France - Vallée de la Loire
The Thibault family chose to create the Domaine de Villargeau in 1991, on land with a south-western exposure and maximum sunshine.
This 20 hectare vineyard is planted with 3/4 Sauvignon Blanc.
The geological history of the formation of the Loire depression explains the diversity of the soils:
- On the one hand, the flint offers all its potential to the Sauvignon, which expresses itself there with delicacy and fruitiness.
- On the other hand, the Kimmeridgian marl on clay-limestone soil allows the Pinot Noir and Gamay to develop a good balance between substance, fruitiness and freshness.
