Villebois Loire Sauvignon Blanc Magnum 2019
About the wine
You deserve a treat
-
If there was ever the ultimate crowd pleasing white wine to bottle into giant 1.5L magnums, it’s Joost’s Loire Saugvignon. It’s one of our most popular wines, and the 2019 vintage is a belter.
-
It's French, it's French Sauvignon, it's French Sauvignon from the prestigious Loire Valley - a stone’s throw from posh Pouilly Fume and Sancerre. Its beauty lies in its explosive fruit. All gooseberries and crisp green apples, that are offset by a fabulous minerality.
-
Planning a BBQ? Cart this bumper sized bottle out into the garden and your guests will be so busy oohing and ahhing, they won’t notice you’ve burned the burgers and scorched the sausages.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Joost and Miguela de Villebois
- Joost started his career miles from the vineyard. In fact, he was the Chairman of the Dutch Stock Exchange... But all it took was one fateful holiday to the Loire Valley for Joost's whole world to be turned upside down. Here began his love story with winemaking - he threw in his stable city job, upped-sticks and moved his whole life to the Loire to try his hand at winemaking.
- Since then, with his wife Miguela and their highly dedicated team, Joost has gone wild with the Sauvignon Blanc grape. Vintage after vintage their ultra premium range has been swept off the shelves by Angels, receiving sky scraping ratings, and turning the heads of critics.
- Now that they've cracked the code to top-drawer Loire Valley classics, their focus has turned to keeping things green and making wines that are just as kind on the planet as they are on the palate. They've introduced beehives and bat hotels to their vineyards, and put in hours of work to achieve the huge green landmark of certified sustainability!
