Jacky Preys
Jacky Preys produces wines from Touraine, in the Middle Loire Valley—a region celebrated for its mineral-driven whites and elegant reds built on limestone soils. The winery's portfolio centers on Sauvignon Blanc and its less common sibling, Sauvignon Gris, varieties that thrive in this cool continental climate. Les Pillotiéres Sauvignon and the Vieille Vigne Cuvée de Fié Gris showcase the textural range of these grapes: the former bright and herbaceous, the latter richer and more complex. The Chenonceaux Touraine rounds out the core range. Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have rated the portfolio, reflecting its standing among serious white wine drinkers. Touraine's terroir—chalky, flinty soils—imparts the characteristic tension and precision that define Loire Valley whites at their best.
