Domaine Beauséjour
At the heart of the “King’s Valley,” the Good Life country, an outstanding vineyard unfolds along the banks of the river Cher. Here vignerons are noble-hearted men; their only truth, to preserve genuineness. At Domaine Beauséjour, four generations of winegrowers built a legacy where the vine and the wine express themselves completely. Nowadays, Philippe and Véronique Trotignon still work with the same pledge to respect tradition, enhanced with a concern for the long-term health of the land. Nestled on the Cher hillsides, the 25 year old vineyard stretches over 50 acres scattered on the rural districts of Noyers-sur-Cher and Saint-Romain-sur-Cher. Philippe took over the estate as a whole in 2002, after having worked on it in GAEC with his parents Jean-Paul and Colette for 15 years.
Wines from Domaine Beauséjour
Domaine Beauséjour Sauvignon Blanc Les Grenettes Touraine
Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Aging: 5 to 8 months in stainless steel tanks, on its lees
Closer to Sancerre than your average Touraine Sauvignon Blanc, it’s clear from the start this is a remarkable wine. Even a slight swirl of the glass releases delicate lily, boxwood, and honeysuckle botanical notes that complement peach and lychee, not just the far more common one-note grapefruit. A deeper breath reveals all the subtleties of the grapes. Its velvety texture is shot through with well-integrated yet bracing acidity and a snap of chalky minerality that keep the wine both lively and supple. A round, full finish lingers long enough to reprise the nose’s floral aspects that serve as a foil to the luscious golden stone fruit. A natural pairing with moules marinières, a chèvre and herb omelet, or heartier salads, but equally delicious on its own.
Domaine Beauséjour Les Fossiles Gamay Noir Touraine
Blend: 85% Gamay Noir & 15% Malbec
Aging: 6 months in stainless steel tanks
This wine, handcrafted by eco-friendly winemaker Philippe Trotignon, is made from 25-year-old vines growing on sandy, chalky, and silex soils. This wine has a bright ruby colors and intense aromas of ripe and sweet red and black fruits with soft dark spices. On the palate, it is round, very soft, and well-balanced. This is a round, fruity, and meaty wine that will pair well with charcuterie, cheese, and your day to day meals. Enjoy over the next five years at 58°.
