Why it's one of our favourites
Some wines remain in our range because they consistently offer exceptional value, and this Sauvignon de Touraine is one of them. We've worked with Patrick Vauvy and Domaine Bellevue for many years, recommending this wine time and again to customers looking for the freshness and elegance of Loire Sauvignon Blanc without the price tag of neighbouring Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé. Bright, vibrant and effortlessly drinkable, the latest vintage once again delivers everything we look for – purity of fruit, lively citrus freshness and outstanding value in every bottle.
From Ben Godfrey
"I've been buying Domaine Bellevue's Sauvignon de Touraine for as long as I can remember. As Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé have become increasingly expensive, this remains one of the best-value Sauvignon Blancs in the Loire. Vintage after vintage, Patrick Vauvy produces a wine with freshness, elegance and remarkable consistency."

Purchased after seeing this as Wine of the Week. Would not be my usual choice of grape but very pleased I bought a bottle and tried it. Much smoother and creamier than other Sauvignon I’ve had in the past and plenty of body. A really nice everyday white and I’d definitely repurchase.
Beautifully balanced. Perfect for those of us who are bored of overly fragrant and light Sav Blanc. Has plenty of body and is smooth on the palate yet retains the fresh nose of a Sav Blanc. (previous vintage)
Delicious. This is a fleshy wine with a delicious taste of tropical fruit and greengage. Smoother than the more acidic New World wines. (previous vintage)
My wife loves Sauvignon and Im wary of NZ versions which often seem to have too much sugar for me so this is a great easy, every day, drinking wine that suits both of us. I'll keep buying it when its in stock. (previous vintage)
