From the sandy terroirs of Oisly, the Nicolas Barbou Touraine Folie Insolente 2020 is a Sauvignon Blanc aged 20 months in barrels. Notes of passion fruit and lime, a saline and taut palate, mineral finish. Ideal with seafood or raw fish, to enjoy within 5 to 7 years.
An artisanal estate founded in 2019, rooted in Touraine and shaped by the exacting standards of a winemaker trained in Burgundy and New Zealand.
- Terroir: Sand and clay soils in the Touraine-Oisly appellation, where Sauvignon Blanc draws its minerality and tension.
- Vinification: Whole-cluster pressing, long barrel aging for precise, textured and low-intervention wines.
Tasting notes for Domaine Nicolas Barbou Touraine Folie Insolente 2020
To the eye – A pale golden robe of crystalline clarity, where light dances on silky highlights.
On the nose – An airy bouquet of ripe passion fruit, tart lime zest, jasmine blossoms and a saline touch evoking sea spray.
On the palate – An ample and vibrant texture, driven by lively acidity and a chalky minerality, stretching into a saline and slightly bitter finish of lasting length.
Serve between 10 and 12°C in a Burgundy-style white wine glass to reveal its full complexity.
