Jacky Marteau "Lulu" Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc

Touraine, France

In 2010 Jacky Marteau retired and left his property to his daughter and son, Ludivine and Rodolphe Marteau. They were both in their late 20’s. Although they came from a fourth-generation wine making family, the young duo sought education and experience before taking over completely. They have now hit their stride, with Rodolphe caring for the vineyard and the winery while Ludivine takes care of sales and marketing. One third of the Sauvignon Blanc production is macerated with skin to naturally bring down the acidity while adding body and fruit depending on the needs of the year. The wine is aged on fine lees in stainless steel tanks and then bottled in December. Lulu is Ludivine's nickname.
