Producer: Jacques Dumont has earned a reputation for producing high-quality Sauvignon Blanc that captures the essence of the Loire Valley. Known for crafting wines that balance tradition with modern appeal, Dumont's offerings are celebrated for their purity, freshness, and expressive character. The 'Val de Loire' Sauvignon Blanc exemplifies this approach, delivering a wine that is both accessible and reflective of its regional heritage.

Vineyard & Winemaking: Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards averaging 35 years in age, the grapes for this wine come from key areas within the Loire Valley, including Saumur, Touraine, and Pays Nantais. The diverse soils—ranging from sandy compositions in Nantes to calcareous terrains in Touraine and Saumur—contribute to the wine's complexity and minerality. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 59°F and 64.4°F, preserving the grape's aromatic integrity. A period of bâtonnage (lees stirring) adds body and texture, enhancing the wine's overall mouthfeel.
