Valencay has only recently achieved AOC status (from 2002 vintage) but is well known in France for its beautiful Chateau, its pyramid shaped goat's cheese and for gunflint. It is this soil, at the western end of the strip of terrain that surfaces to the east in Pouilly and Sancerre, that gives the captivating mineral quality to all the best wines made from this area, including the Valencay.

Valencay, 2012
Sebastien Vaillant

Per item: £11.25

The 20% Chardonnay added to the Sauvignon Blanc brings richness. Light lemon yellow in colour with a crisp, gooseberry and sherbet lemon perfume on the nose. Attractive depth on the palate with a lively, green apple and citrus fruit character offset by a lovely mineral tone which puts this wine amongst the classic Sauvignon Blancs from the Loire Valley.
