2023 J De Villebois
Tasting Notes
A lovely gold hue with yellow gleams. The nose, at first discreet, opens gradually with citrus notes such as mandarin, yuzu, and pink grapefruit. The mouth is full and textured with fresh white fruit and citrus. A wine full of elegant freshness, accompanied by mineral and saline notes and a fine touch of bitterness on the long, persistent finish.

The quest to create the best Sauvignon Blanc through innovation and experimentation while embracing and respecting the values and spirit of the appellation is the philosophy of Villebois in a nutshell. The modernist approach discards dogmas and beliefs and is a guarantee of quality, a seal of confidence without ever replacing the notion of terroir and the intrinsic identity of the appellations. The spirit of Villebois is the ability to combine the most modern techniques with the noblest soils, only to question everything the following year. This is a permanent, exciting and fascinating quest…with the only gauge being the ability to capture you with every glass! Every sip tells a story.
A descendant of an old French family dating back to 1180 with Hugues de Villebois (Sire of Villebois and Mareuil) on the borders of the Dordogne, Gironde and Charentes, Joost de Willebois follows in the line of his ancestors and perpetuates his chivalrous heritage.
It is in this area that the original castles of the family proudly stand. Unwitheringly supported by his wife Miguela, they have founded and united a team of winegrowers, winemakers and craftsmen in order raise the Sauvignon Blanc of the Loire Valley and the Villebois’ banner to the highest level!
