Luc Poullain bought his domaine in 2000 at 30 years old. A little of a career change as he'd previously studied as an agricultural engineer in Bedfordshire in the early 1990s, before returning to France to sell, ironically, chemicals to the wine industry. In Touraine, Luc is known as 'Mr President", not just because of his strong grasp of the English language due to his time studying abroad but because he was the force behind the campaign for creating the new Touraine-Chenonceaux appellation. Luc’s Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from vineyards on the slopes and plateaux on the south bank of the river Cher, where soil types match those of his more illustrious Sauvignon Blanc neighbours further to the east, with his wine is as good a match as any of those and at significantly more attractive pricing.
