2023 Domaine Nebout L'Incompris du Tressallier Blanc

Producer: Domaine Nebout  
Region: Loire Valley, France  
Varietal: Tressallier 
Year: 2023

Winemaker Notes: 

"An ancient grape and one that is cultivated exclusively in and around the historic village of Saint-Pourçain, near the Loire Valley in south-central France. A rare taste of vinous history! Aromas of oyster shells and sea salt blend with flavors of Meyer lemons, key limes and fresh nuts.  Aromas of citrus zest, crushed stones, light herbs, fresh nuts. Tangy and fresh, light bodied with bright acid and good balance." 

From the Importer: 

"Tressallier is the source of one of France’s oldest, rarest and most vibrant white wines, and Domaine Nebout is the family that is helping to return this grape to the hallowed status it once held. Tressallier combines the delicious tension of Chablis with the chalky notes characteristic of Loire Valley Sauvignon in a wine that is bone dry, vibrantly flavored and invigorating. Almost disappearing from the wine map during the phylloxera blight in France, Tressallier today is grown on less than 90 acres of land worldwide—and all of those are located in Saint-Pourçain, one of France’s oldest wine regions. For three generations, the Nebout family has cultivated Tressallier and is one of the few estates that craft a pure, 100% Tressallier wine."
