"Utopie Créative" 2022 - Nicolas Barbou

Tasting notes

"Utopie Créative is the very first cuvée produced by Nicolas Barbou after establishing his estate. This Sauvignon Blanc comes from 50-year-old organic vines planted on sandy soil composed of quartz and clay. The wine undergoes 20 months of aging in wooden barrels, with minimal sulphur added during this period.

It reveals an aromatic nose and a crisp, fresh palate that culminates in a long, elegant finish. It pairs wonderfully with goat’s cheese and braised asparagus. In 2020, only 2,500 bottles of this rare wine were produced, making it highly sought after by wine enthusiasts.

This cuvée is even more profound than 'Folie Insolente'. While it may have slightly less power than in 2020, it gains in finesse and precision. Expect fresh white fruit aromas, soft spices, a hint of exotic fruit, and a touch of frangipane. On the palate, the powerful texture is well-balanced, leading to a long finish with delicate saline bitterness."

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

"This estate is one of the best-kept secrets of the Tours region. But who is the winemaker? It’s none other than Nicolas Barbou, the son of Dominique and Véronique Barbou, owners of Domaine des Corbillières in Touraine. After training under Jean-Yves Bizot until 2021 (who greatly influenced his winemaking style), Nicolas traveled to New Zealand to gain experience before returning to his home region in Touraine, Loire Valley, to start his own vineyard.

Artist or winemaker? Nicolas' vision is to craft wines that evoke deep emotions from a range of grape varieties such as Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Chenin, Gamay, and even Pinot Noir. His first cuvée, Utopie Créative, set the tone for the rest of his range, both captivating and bold. His decisions in the vineyard and the winery are meticulous, highlighting the talent of this highly skilled winemaker who is just at the beginning of his journey. Definitely one to watch closely!"
