Vineyards in Touraine-Chenonceaux grow on slopes on both sides of the river Cher. After the grapes are harvested, the wines are vinified then aged within the designated appellation area that includes eight communes in the Indre-et-Loire département and nineteen in Loir-et-Cher. Vineyards are planted on slopes with natural drainage and an open landscape. Soils are mostly limestone, siliceous clay and perruches which are flint-based, stony soils found in much of the Loire Valley.
White wine production of Sauvignon Blanc (or simply, Sauvignon) dominates the region. In general, Sauvignon is intensely aromatic with notes of white flowers, ripe citrus and tropical fruit notes. With plenty of body on the palate, wines offer power, structure and a lingering finish.
