Description
The Touraine Chenonceaux is the top model of Domaine des Caillots coming from the famous Slex soils (the sandy soil with flint-like clay and limestone soil). The Sauvignon blanc grapes come from their most beautiful vineyard (single vineyard). After the harvest, fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at 17 - 19 ° C. They choose not to do this too cold in order to preserve the typicity of the terroir. After fermentation, the wine matures on its lees (sur lie) for 7 months in oak barrels.
This great Chenonceaux is straw yellow in the glass with golden reflections. In the nose beautiful fresh aromas of peach and orange. The wine has a beautiful harmony between fruit (apricot, peach, lychee) and structure (creamy, persistence, elegance). The Chenonceaux is a wine that reflects the great maturity of this cuvée with the mineral tones typical of these Silex soils.
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount . You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Pick up' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht almost next to the A16 with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

Salad with fennel, orange and goat cheese
The fresh acids of the wine complement the citrus fruit nicely, while the creamy cheese softens the whole.Chicken fillet with lemon, capers and parsley
The lively freshness of the wine enhances the lemon zest and cuts well through the juicy meat.Baked salmon with a spicy yoghurt sauce
The creamy, slightly spicy sauce contrasts pleasantly with the pure acidity and aromatic intensity of the wine.Green curry with zucchini, lime leaf and coconut milk
The wine keeps the fresh accent in the dish, and goes well with the soft spiciness and creamy texture.Poached sole rolls with lemon-tarragon sauce and celeriac puree
The tender fish flesh and creamy puree allow the fruit and tension of the wine to come into their own.Roasted scallops with roasted cauliflower, hazelnut and beurre noisette
The nutty elements and roasted notes provide a surprising harmony with the round, mineral profile of the Chenonceaux.

At Domaine des Caillots, they have been winemakers from father to son for many generations. They are proud winemakers who stick to traditions but who have also adopted modern techniques and thus have been making excellent wines for many years and at a very affordable price. No mass and in everything quality is more important than quantity. Their family estate consists of 21 hectares of vineyards located on the hills overlooking the River Cher in the Touraine AOC area.
The vineyards are located in famous areas on sandy soils with a varying amount of flint (silex) and limestone soils that give the wine a characteristic taste, classic for the Sauvignon Blanxc from that area. They have been working at Domaine des Caillots for many years using sustainable farming methods with minimal intervention.
