Domaine du Vieil Orme Touraine

This is Touraine Sauvignon in its most honest, river-washed register: brisk and clear-eyed, with scents of crushed gooseberry, lime zest, and freshly cut herbs carried on a faint chalky breeze. The palate is light on its feet but not slight, shaped by lemon pith, green apple skin, and a quiet mineral snap that feels more stone than citrus. There’s no cosmetic gloss here—just Loire clarity, cool restraint, and a clean, refreshing finish that invites another sip rather than admiration.
