Wine No 4 from Orbit Collection

Domaine La Piffaudière

Sauvignon 2022

AOP Touraine

This 100% Sauvignon blanc is an elegant illustration of the Loire Valley sauvignons - the best known ones being from Sancerre. Made from a blend of grapes organically farmed on a variety of soils: clay, flint, sand and limestone. It is aged in steel tanks for 6 months and filtered before bottling. Drink cool and it'll still be good - if not better - the next day. Very dry, perfect for apéritif.

Olivier Bellanger

Olivier Bellanger grew up in Monthou sur Cher, a little east of Tours. He obtained his agricultural diploma in 2000, and spent the next 8 years working for various domaines in the Loire, notably for Philippe Tessier. In 2008 he got the opportunity to buy 6 hectares of vineyards in Thesée near his native village. He immediately converted them to organic farming with a commitment to local grapes.

He started vinifying in a friend’s winery where he rented space. Still in startup mode, he now farms about 10 hectares and sells some fruit to other wineries to keep his cash flow reasonable. His own wines of course are a real labor of love. He never stops fine-tuning his blends. The results are always exciting and delicious.
