Mary Taylor Luc Poullain Touraine
Mary Taylor's partnership with winemaker Luc Poullain brings us this textbook expression of Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc from the Touraine appellation. While neighboring Sancerre gets all the fame (and higher prices), Touraine offers some of the best values in French white wine – authentic regional character without the premium markup.
Poullain's family has been growing vines in this region for generations, giving him an intimate understanding of the area's limestone and clay soils. His traditional approach to winemaking allows the varietal and terroir to speak clearly, creating a wine that's both refreshing and expressive.
Mary Taylor's mission of bringing authentic regional wines directly to consumers means you're getting genuine Loire Valley quality at a remarkably fair price. It's the kind of honest, everyday white that French families keep on hand – versatile, satisfying, and a perfect companion to a wide range of foods.
