Muscadet Sur Lie ‘Cuveé du Printemps’

Origin: Loire, France

This 15 hectare domaine is owned by François Bonhomme and is planted solely with 'Melon', or more familiarly, Muscadet. Anthony Byrne Fine Wines has been working with François and his family for over 20 years.

Vinification

The word Printemps (Spring) installs an impression of the wine, the winery pick the grapes earlier than the prestige wines to ensure an attractive white with crisp acidity that is ideal with seafood. This maintains the perception of ‘Muscadet’ ensuring satisfaction. The wine is then aged on its lees, or sediment, for six months to impart more body to the wine. The grapes are selected from François’s finest vineyards.

Winemaker's Notes

Pale straw in colour with a nose of tropical fruit. Very fresh and zingy in the mouth with a light body. High acidity with a fruity and mineral finish. This is a wine of great finesse.

Sauvignon Touraine Les Barbottes Les Barbottes

Origin: Touraine, Loire, France

Touraine vineyards approximately 60 kilometres East of Tours. The soils are clay and chalky.

Vinification

The Sauvignon grape-variety represents more than 40% of the Touraine wines’ yield. Traditional method, then temperature controlled processing allows Auguste Bonhomme Wines to produce very aromatic wines in which the acidity and fruit balance make a particularly pleasant wine. Bottled very early after the harvest in February or March following the crop allows the grapes to retain the fineness and elegance typical from the Sauvignon variety.

Winemaker's Notes

Bright green hues are visible in the colour. The nose has notes of nut and fruit which develops into a bright palate of ripe fruit. The finish of this wine has a slight citrus peel bitterness to it. A crisp and dry Loire Valley Sauvignon in a similar style to Sancerre. Overall a very vivacious wine.
