Passerelles Touraine Oisly 2023 Review
The beauty of this wine is that, for the most part, the Loire Valley’s Touraine region (just west of Sancerre) isn’t known for producing higher-end wines, at least on the American market. Here, this bottling from Oisly (the commune where the grapes come from) shows that wines from the large wine making zone can still exhibit finesse and focus. Compared to the more expensive wines of nearby Sancerre this wine punches far above its weight and shows just that. The nose brings subtle notes of pepper, citrus, orchard fruit, and river rock minerality. The mouthfeel is precise, but still showcases all of the best elements of this complex variety. The finish is elegant and lengthy.
