In the glass, the Domaine de la Potine Touraine Sauvignon has a pale green-gold color with flashes of platinum at the edge. Aromas of gooseberries, green apples, grapefruit oil, and boxwood emerge in the nose, with fleeting suggestions of elderflower, lemongrass, and cassis moving in and out of the foreground as the wine evolves in the glass. On the palate, the wine is sleek and juicy, with oily, briny flavors that echo the nose, including green apple peel, fennel, and fresh ginger, all interwoven with salty clam shell minerality and palate cleansing acidity.
This is especially good with fresh goat cheeses, but the wine is very adaptable.
The Domaine de la Potine comes from a 2-hectare parcel of Sauvignon Blanc planted on a gentle slope of sandy clay-limestone that looks over the river Cher. The wine ferments in stainless steel cuves, and is bottled in late winter.
The farming is entirely organic and incorporates practices learned from the discipline of biodynamics, which Vincent encountered while working with Claude Levasseur, the uncle of François Chidaine of Montlouis and Vouvray.
