From our lovely wine grower in the Touraine, Luc Poullain, comes this masterpece. Along the Cher River, where you have the world’s most exciting goat cheeses, are chalk deposits much like in Champagne. Chenonceau castle is the hallmark of this area – the ‘women’s chateau.”
It’s very rare for new AOCs to pop up – especially since 2010, but in 2011 Touraine Chenonceaux gained Appellation status – thanks to the work of these local growers.
Wine Description
Another wonderful wine from Luc Poullain in the Touraine. The AOC Touraine Chenonceaux is a recent appellation directly related to the prestigious Château de Chenonceaux which was built in 1513 and was once occupied by a series of powerful women such as Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Médicis. The soil is notable for being pure chalk.
