Domaine du Pré Baron, Vieilles Vignes Sauvignon Blanc, Touraine 2017

Yet another Touraine, but this time a really exotic example. Dried mango and apricot aromas are followed by a very intense, sweet and floral palate with more dried mango and apricot alongside cream and spices. Although delicious, its straightforward simplicity contrasted with the alcoholic warmth and flavour intensity of Te Mata's Cape Crest to single this out as the Loire example in this pairing.
