Domaine De Reuilly - 2024 - Les Pierres Plates - 750 ml.

Subregion: Reuilly

Les Pierres Plates from Domaine de Reuilly is a singular expression of Reuilly Sauvignon Blanc, grown on Kimmeridgian, limestone-rich soils in the Loire Valley and farmed organically and biodynamically. This single-vineyard bottling delivers a focused, light-bodied profile that emphasizes bright citrus (lemon zest, lime) and delicate white-flower aromatics, framed by an energetic, mouthwatering acidity. What sets this wine apart is its pronounced minerality — a stony, saline backbone derived from the limestone terroir that gives the wine vivid lift and a clean, persistent finish. Les Pierres Plates pairs effortlessly with oysters and shellfish, fresh seafood preparations, and classic Loire pairings such as chèvre and other fresh goat cheeses, making it a natural choice for shellfish-centric menus or a refined aperitif. Because it is vinified with careful attention to terroir and organic/biodynamic practices, Les Pierres Plates reads as a terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc rather than an overtly fruity or heavily manipulated white. Expect a linear palate character, lean but texturally precise, with citrus and light orchard-fruit notes threaded through saline, mineral layers. The wine is ideal for those who prize clarity and place — a Loire white that offers authenticity, versatility at the table, and refreshing tension. Serve well-chilled in slender white-wine stemware to showcase its aromatics and razor-edged finish. For collectors, this wine has modest cellar potential; its bright acidity and mineral core allow short- to medium-term ageing that will reward cellaring for a few years, while its immediate charm makes it eminently drinkable now.
