Citrus, grassy aromas with some ripe texture and good balancing acidity in the slightly short finish. However, overall this is a successful 2021. Along with a number of other Touraine producers, Domaine Jacky Marteau is in the hamlet of La Tesnière in the commune of Pouillé in the Cher Valley. The 29ha domaine is now run by sister and brother Ludivine and Rodolphe, who are the fourth generation. The domaine specialises in Sauvignon Blanc, with 20ha planted along with 4.5ha of Gamay. It was their father Jacky who expanded the domaine and established its export success – 60% of their Sauvignon is sold outside France. Their Touraine Sauvignon comes from 30-year-old vines planted on flinty clay. Skin contact is used on 60% of this cuvee.
