Monsieur Touton Bordeaux Sauvignon
Sauvignon Blanc
| Description: | Guillaume Touton was like any 20-year-old in France looking for a job. Living in Bordeaux, he was working for his father in a wine business and in search of an alternative. He traveled to Canada, where he eventually found his way to the French-speaking Montreal, where he spent six years selling wine. But he knew he had to learn English if he was going to flourish in North America, so he traveled to New York City to engage his trade. The challenges of his youth prepared him well for the competitive import business he would later launch. He's come a long way. Today, the name Touton is well-known on the East Coast as one of the most prolific importers of French wine. ''Monsieur Touton,'' as Guillaume is known, used his connections in Bordeaux and a friendship with Alexis Lichine to recruit producers who are still with him today. By his count he represents a ''few hundred'' producers from several countries, employs 82 sales people and has offices in New York, Boston and Washington. We doubt any importer represents this many producers. Monsieur Touton Sauvignon Blanc was the first wine Guillaume brought to us baring the Touton name. He says this wine ''put him on the map.'' |
