Nicolas Barbou is an exciting talent in the Loire Valley, crafting profound expressions of Sauvignon Blanc from the Touraine Oisly appellation. The 'Folie Insolente' cuvée is sourced from a tiny 0.8-hectare plot of vines planted on a unique combination of sand and clay soils, which impart remarkable texture and aromatic lift. Hand-harvested and whole-cluster pressed, the wine undergoes an extended élevage, aging for nearly two years in a mix of new and old oak barrels. It is a deeply complex, rounded white, delivering intense notes of white peach, spicy floral undertones, and a rich, yeasty texture balanced by a long, precise finish. Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc Appellation: Touraine Oisly, Loire Valley, France Farming: Sustainable Style: White. Dry, complex and textured
