2023 Nicolas Barbou Touraine-Oisly Folie Insolente Blanc 750ml

Nicolas Barbou, born into a Touraine winemaking family and trained under Jean-Yves Bizot, makes Folie Insolente from Sauvignon Blanc grown on sand and clay soils in Oisly. The light, well-draining terroir promotes freshness in the grapes, and the wine is whole-bunch pressed and aged 20 months in used barrel without racking.

Expect a fresh, textural Sauvignon Blanc that shows real depth from extended barrel aging without picking up oak flavor, reflecting Barbou’s thoughtful, minimal-intervention approach. It is an exciting bottle from one of the Loire’s most talked-about young winemakers.
