Among those who have taken a sommelier course, the memory of the first 'aromatic' wine tasted is certainly linked to a white wine, French or Italian, produced from Sauvignon Blanc, a white grape variety native to France, in particular the Loire wine region. After all, it is one of the most widely cultivated white grape varieties in the world. With a thick skin and intense acidity, it produces fresh, unmistakable wines with typical aromas of currant, tropical fruit, lemon and green pepper. A fine example is this 'Selection' from Domaine des Tilleuls, a white wine made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The vineyards that give life to this wine are located in the La Regrippière area, with very special soil and a temperate oceanic climate. Gentle pneumatic pressing and static settling are the first operations carried out once the grapes arrive at the winery. Then follows the low-temperature alcoholic fermentation phase and a 6-month ageing of the wine on its fine lees in underground glass tanks typical of the Pays Nantais. In the glass, the Sauvignon Blanc 'Selection' is yellow in colour with greenish highlights and the nose is expressive, with notes of citrus, tropical fruit and vegetables. On the palate, however, it is pleasantly balanced and versatile, with a nice liveliness and a perfect correspondence to what was previously perceived. Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with goat cheese, seafood, marinated anchovies and fish dishes.
