Berthier
Jean-Marie Berthier,a highly skilled wine producer from Loire valley, created this estate in the early 1980s. Today, his two sons Clment and Florian have taken over the domaine to produce a distinctive range of wines, covering a variety of styles and Loire appellations as the estate has expanded. Having previously worked in Burgundy, New Zealand and the USA, Clment and Florian brought a modern approach; looking to produce clean, precise wines which display a distinct sense of their origins. In 1998 the Berthier family purchased the Montbenoit estate in Cteaux du Giennois. Cteaux du Giennois is a tiny 191 hectare region and only a recent appellation, despite archaeological evidence of winegrowing from the 2nd century in the area. The wines from here can offer a great value and more fruit-driven alternative to their famous neighbours of Sancerre and Pouilly. The Terre de Marne is a single terroir release, from a parcel of vines growing on soil composed of Kimmeridgian marl with small oyster fossils. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled vats to retain freshness then aged on its lees for few months before bottling to build extra weight and complexity. Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc Tasting Note: Ripe and round with textured notes of yellow plum and grapefruit followed by earthy minerality. An outstanding expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Food Match: Delicious with trout in parsley and caper butter. Closure: Natural Cork Farming Practices: Contains Sulfites Download Product Info: (https://www.dropbox.com/s/75wx4mczcyamq0j/Vignobles%20Berthier%20C%C3%B4teaux%20du%20Giennois%20Terre%20de%20Marne%20Blanc.pdf?dl=0)
