Tu le Boa - Domaine Mérieau - Vin de France 2017 - Sauvignon blanc - Loire Valley, France - Oxidative White

INTENSE & NUTTY

Tasting Note: The nose is elegant and quintessentially oxidative, delicately led by fresh walnut. On the palate, a masterful equilibrium unfolds - juicy pear notes glide seamlessly into a velvety richness, lifted by vibrant freshness. Extended barrel aging under a veil yields fine oxidative and nutty notes, crafting a signature profile. The finish is remarkably persistent, etched with dried-fruit nuances.

Vibe: An audacious “vin de voile” comparable to vin jaune from Jura - brimming with nutty complexity yet buoyed by Sauvignon’s vibrant acidity. It’s a glass for slow sipping, discovery and exciting food pairings.
