Tête de Linotte is made of Sauvignon from vineyards just to the East of the town of Tours. Grapes are sourced from carefully-selected organically certified vineyards on clay, chalk and flint soils.
Sauvignon Blanc is the key grape variety of the Tourraine appellation. A continental climate, a combination of cold winters and warm summers paired with a clay-limestone soil allow perfect healthy grapes used for this cuvée.
The grapes are gently pressed, then the must settled up to 24 hours. The fermentation started in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is bottled in March to preserve the characteristic of the Sauvignon Blanc fruits.
