Description
The vineyards of Dupuy are located in Verdigny in the Loire Valley in Northern France. The plots are mainly located in Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and Touraine. The great driving force and passion of the wine company is the Sauvignon Blanc grape, with which the most advanced techniques are used 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 named it Villebois. Their wines under the name Charles Dupuy are a tribute to Charles Etienne Dupuy, who donated his 80 hectares of land to the then wine estate in 1920.
The sauvignon grapes have fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and then the wine has matured for 6 months surlie on its lees. This 100% Sauvignon is a wine without frills and just an honest and delicious sauvignon blanc. It has a dashing 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 and fresh with flavors of peach, apricot and citrus and a pleasant freshness and sufficient ripeness. Delicious as a standalone glass, aperitif, with a salad and with goat cheese. The Charles Dupuy Sauvignon blanc has a great price/quality ratio.
