Tasting notes: With a lovely golden yellow colour, this wine gives: On the nose, a surprising mixture of mineral notes, aromas of white fruits and spices. On the palate, structure and freshness combined, are providing a briny finish. Suits very well to fishes, seafood, hard cheeses. The lieu-dit of “Les Salettes” is situated on the land of the Château de la Tour in Port-Saint-Père, on the edge of the river Acheneau, which used to be an important local harbour, a “stop-off”, point between Nantes and the Atlantic coast. Terroir: Sandy-silty soil of little depth on a mother rock of “two mica potassic” gneissic granite, giving soils which are naturally rich in potassium. These elements allow for good drainage, and an ideal water reserve and fertility.
