Baron's 2010 is one of our best value white wines – combining pure, mouthwatering fruit with a fine mineral backbone. A classic Loire Valley style, perfect quaffing as an aperitif, or alongside fish and creamy poultry dishes.

Jean-Pierre Baron was one of the first vignerons to plant Sauvignon in the Touraine way back in 1946, but up until the 2002 vintage the family had always sold its grapes to the local co-operative. Then his son, Samuel, made the bold move of making his own wine – rapidly establishing a reputation for quality.

Lovely aromatics with blackcurrant leaf, grapefruit and lime notes, and smoky, mineral nuances. The palate is packed with juicy, refreshing, crunchy citrus fruits – great balance and so very enticing.
