Les Quatre Piliers Ancrage Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Country: France
Region and Appellation: Loire Valley

Les Quatre Piliers Ancrage Sauvignon Blanc 2024 represents a deeply personal milestone for rising star Valentin Desloges—the first vintage from his family's vines after training with Burgundian legends Coche-Dury and Thierry Pillot. This Loire Sauvignon is sourced from organically farmed old vines planted in pure sand and flint soils (no clay or limestone), creating exceptional crystalline purity. Rated 90 points by CellarTracker, this cuvée is praised as "fresh, elegant and well-balanced" with "very good value for the quality".

Balanced Tank & Barrel Aging

After hand-harvesting, the wine ferments 80% in stainless steel tanks and 20% in neutral French oak barrels, then ages 6 months across various barrel sizes with malolactic fermentation completed. Racked twice total before unfiltered bottling.

Citrus Brightness & Mineral Precision

The pale, bright color with silver reflections opens to complex aromas of fresh citrus, white flowers, exotic fruits, and delicate pastry notes. The palate shows precise, silky attack with lively mineral tension, candied orange, grapefruit, and refreshing acidity.
