Salvard Val de Loire Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Screwcap. More than just good value, the finest wines produced in Cheverny, upstream from Sancerre, are truly exciting and worth seeking out. Domaine du Salvard has been a standard-bearer here ever since Maurice Delaille bought this property in 1900, replanting the vineyards and renovating the estate. Grown on mature vines rooted in the sandy clay soils of Cheverny’s Fougères-sur-Bièvre, the ‘Butterfly’ label is 100% Sauvignon Blanc raised on lees without any oak. It’s a deliciously pulpy, focused Sauvignon with citrus fruit, and succulent herb flavours finished with a glide of mouth-watering zesty acidity and a fine, chalky finish. Proper, pourable Loire Sauvignon, done right.
