Famille Bougrier ′Les Roches Blanches′ Sauvignon Blanc 2021/22, Touraine

If you’re looking for excellent value Loire Sauvignon, the Touraine region is a great starting point. Not all wines here are created equal. But thankfully our buyers know just how to dig out gems capable of rivalling global favourites, Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. Consider this elegant wine one such contender. It’s made by Famille Bougrier – a family-run company that’s been established since 1885. The wine spends six months ageing on its lees, enriching its texture and developing lively flavours. The extra time spent means it’s worth the wait. You’ll find it crisp and refreshing, with concentrated flavours of zingy lime and grapefruit. A streak of minerality makes it elegant – and a delicious complement to smoked fish.
