Tasting Note:
Clos du Tue-Boeuf’s 2025 “Vin Blanc” is a lively, expressive Loire white that balances bright citrus fruit with gentle texture and savory complexity. Lemon zest, green apple, ripe pear, white peach, fresh herbs, and delicate floral notes lead into a juicy, energetic palate. Sauvignon Blanc brings freshness and aromatic lift, while Chardonnay adds roundness and depth. Bright acidity and a subtle mineral edge carry through a clean, refreshing finish. A versatile, easygoing white with plenty of character.
