Les Quatre Piliers - Ancrage 2024
The Les Quatre Piliers estate was born from a unique approach, at the crossroads of the world of wine and committed artisans, with a clear desire to produce sincere, readable cuvées deeply rooted in their territory. Located in Touraine, the estate works in close connection with nature, following a strong organic approach, seeking to reveal the purest expression of the Loire soils. Here, wine is conceived as a product of place and season, without artifice, with particular attention paid to balance and drinkability. Les Quatre Piliers stand out for a modern, precise, and accessible style that speaks both to knowledgeable enthusiasts and curious seekers of lively wines. Each cuvée tells a story of terroir and conviction.
Ancrage 2024 is a white wine from Touraine made from Sauvignon Blanc, the emblematic grape variety of the region, here interpreted in a register of freshness and uprightness. The 2024 vintage highlights just the right maturity, favoring aromatic expression without excess. The vinification is carried out carefully, with a low-intervention spirit, to preserve the brightness of the fruit and the clarity of the terroir. The aging remains deliberately discreet, conceived as an accompaniment and not as a signature, to leave full space to the identity of the grape variety. Ancrage thus embodies a precise and contemporary vision of Touraine Sauvignon, faithful to the spirit of the estate.
On tasting, Ancrage 2024 seduces with its immediate energy and great freshness. The nose opens with aromas of lemon, grapefruit, and crunchy white fruits, accompanied by fine herbal notes and a delicate mineral touch. The palate is lively, taut, and thirst-quenching, with a beautiful length and a very appealing sense of clarity. The balance between freshness, fruit, and minerality makes it a particularly digestible wine. The finish is fresh, precise, and slightly saline. This wine ideally accompanies seafood, grilled fish, fresh vegetarian cuisine, or goat cheeses, and is perfectly suited to simple and convivial sharing moments.
