PRODUCT REVIEWS (3)

After retasting Domaine Bellevue’s 2022 Sauvignon Touraine at a Loire-focused event last week, I was once again bowled over by how superior it was alongside the dozen or so others showing on the day.  As it is with every vintage. And I mean superior in pristine, zippy, citrus freshness and zest; in exhilarating aromas of freshly cut grass and sun-drenched stone fruit. Once again, head winemaker Patrick Vauvy’s creation is streets ahead of anything in its neighbourhood.

It’s why I’ve been buying it for as long as I can remember. Especially given what continued price increases we see in the Loire’s more prestigious appellations (e.g. Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé…). As such, it makes Sauvignon de Touraine a fabulous-value alternative appellation. Above all, Domaine de Bellevue’s expression of it. It’s where you’ll find all the delicacy, elegance and drinking pleasure the more famous regions offer, but at a far pocket-friendlier price.

No wonder the 2022 vintage was among our biggest selling white wines last year – over 3,000 bottles sold. So, if you love such varietal purity as enjoyed in sauvignon blanc’s heartland, you simply cannot pass this up.

- Ben Godfrey, Buyer, Mr.Wheeler

Critic reviews (previous vintages):
"Sauvignon de Touraine, Domaine Bellevue, a lemon-fresh, really rather tropical Sauvignon Blanc produced but a stones throw from the dreamiest of all Loire Valley châteaux: Chenonceau. Patrick Vauvy is the fourth generation of his family to make wine in Noyers-sur-Cher and his wines are noted for their elegance and exuberance. If the mineral-rich, south-facing vineyards were a few hundred metres further south-east, it would be classified as Sancerre and a heck of a lot pricier."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator

"Terrific Touraine Sauvignon, all smoky, minerally, greengage fruit and glorious greenery-yallery peashoot pizzazz that makes it the sort of summery thirst-quencher everyone needs in their wine rack, at an infinitely more appetising price than Sancerre."
Jane MacQuitty, The Times

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)
