Terroir
This Sauvignon Blanc is grown on limestone soils in the Gard Region, the plains of Hérault, and the Aude Valley. Some of it comes from the East of Aude, a cold region that brings acidity and freshness to the wine.
In the vineyard
The young vines grown on terraces are pruned in "cordon de Royat" (trellised).
Winemaking
The grape harvest takes place early in the morning and the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. Pressing is done after a short skin maceration (8 hours). Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperature (15 to 18°C). There is no malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
The aging takes place for a few months on fine lees, under a carbonic atmosphere. The bottling of this Sauvignon Blanc is early.

Tasting
From a pretty pale yellow dress, our Sauvignon Blanc is rich and aromatic, with intense fruit flavors and vegetal notes: gooseberry, passion fruit, green tomato, wild strawberry, citrus. It has floral nuances (honeysuckle), as well as a flinty mineral perfume. On the palate, it is very fresh with good acidity and a rich, round finish.
Food pairings
Serve very chilled (8°C) with seafood, fish, and summer cuisine.
