Winemaking Notes: Crazy Beautiful has been working with the same co-op in the Loire Valley since 2014. Jolie Folle's grapes come from multiple vineyards located near Les Caves de la Loire, southwest of Angers. Grapes are pressed immediately and kept at 41-42 degrees Celsius on fine lees for 8 days. The wine is then cold fermented in stainless steel tanks for 11 days.

Terroir Notes: The Loire Valley terroir is exceptionally diverse. It consists of sandstone, schist and volcanic rock in the west and clay, sand and limestone in the east. The climate typically allows for hot summers, mild winters with plenty of sun.

Tasting Notes: This Sancerre-styled Sauvignon Blanc has notes of ripe citrus and French pear that finish with subtle minerality.

The Liter Bottle: The one liter bottle holds 33% more wine than the average 750ml.

About the Label: The coat of arms of Pays-de-la-Loire or “queens of Loire” pays tribute to the matriarchs that held power in France during the 1500s. More women reigned in France during this time period than any other point in its history.
