Winemaker
Vincent Roussely is the fourth generation at his family's estate in Angé-sur-Cher. Horses, old vines and organic farming are part of daily life, continuing a family relationship with this corner of the Loire.

Wine
L'Escale is the estate's direct, fruit-led Sauvignon Blanc. Citrus and fresh herbs, with the familiar lift of Loire Sauvignon. The palate is brisk and straightforward, with just enough texture to make another glass appealing. A useful bottle for goat's cheese, peas, asparagus or a plate of shellfish.

Origin
Angé sits beside the Cher within Touraine. Clay, limestone and flint run through the local vineyards. The relatively cool growing season supports Sauvignon Blanc's fragrance and acidity, while differences in exposure shape how fully the fruit ripens.
