Domaine Paul Buisse Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2021 750 ML

Domaine Paul Buisse?s story begins with Paul Buisse?s great, great grandfather, Eugene, who founded and built the family business around the trade of selling table wine in barrel. John Buisse took control of the business in 1946 with a different approach, one that enabled him to become a pioneer of selling wine by the liter, which allowed for lower yields and higher quality. In 1955, he acquired Caves de la Boule Blanche meaning ?Caves of the White Ball,? which is the current winery site and a troglodyte. A troglodyte is essentially a cave dwelling that has been dug into the rock surface of a landscape. Caves de la Boule Blanche was carved into ancient tuffeau, which is a form of limestone. It is likely that these were first excavated to use the stone for the restoration of the Loire castles. Today, the wines are aged and kept in these troglodyte caves, where a constant temperature of 54?F is maintained year round.
