2020 Charles Dupuy Le Pont Vigneau Sauvignon Blanc

The Dupuy vineyards are located in Verdigny in the Loire Valley in Northern France. The plots are mainly located in Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and Touraine. The wine company's main motivation and passion is the Sauvignon Blanc grape, which uses the most advanced techniques to make a wine that is as pure and authentic as possible. The company now also makes very nice wines with Chenin Blanc and Pinot Noir.

The estate and wine empire have been owned by Miguela and Joost Willebois since 2004. Dutchman Joost Willebois has French roots, his French ancestors had the name Villebois, which later became Willebois. When Miguela and Joost bought a wine estate in Verdigny in 2004, they renamed it Villebois. Their wines under the name Charles Dupuy are a tribute to Charles Etienne Dupuy, who in 1920 donated his 80 hectares of land to the then wine estate.

The Sauvignon grapes were fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and then the wine was aged surlie for 6 months on its lees. This 100% Sauvignon is a wine without frills and just an honest and delicious sauvignon blanc. It has a dusty nose, a pleasant freshness and sufficient ripeness and drinkability. In the nose mainly peach, apricot and a hint of citrus. In the mouth the wine is nice and dry with flavors of peach, apricot and citrus and a pleasant freshness and sufficient ripeness. Delicious as a standalone glass, as an aperitif, with a salad and with goat cheese. The Charles Dupuy Sauvignon blanc has a great price/quality ratio.
