Clos du Tue-Boeuf is a producer known for its organic viticulture and unique approach to winemaking in the region of Touraine in the Loire Valley. The estate consists of 10 hectares in Les Montils (part of the Cheverny AOC) and an additional four hectares in a nearby village, all farmed organically since 1996. Previously managed by local legend Thierry Puzelat and his bother Jean-Marie, it's now managed by Thierry's daughters Zoë and Louise. Working with minimal intervention in the vineyard and no additions in the cellar the blend of grapes in each cuvée often differs year to year as do the wines themselves.

Exceptional Sauvignon Blanc from a mix of 20 to 70 year old vines, whole bunch pressed and aged on the lees for 10 to 12 months in demi-muids and Burgundy barrels. Full bodied and complex, with aromas of white fruits, citrus zest, white truffle, and a distinguished mineral structure.
