Adorned with a refined illustration depicting a chic young woman against the backdrop of Paris rooftops, it embodies the timeless charm and sophistication of the French art of living. From the sunny terroirs of southern France, our selection of single varietals produces authentic, delicate, and balanced wines. "The Belle" is an invitation to travel through wines that combine grace and finesse.
Terroir
This Sauvignon Blanc is grown on limestone soils in the Gard Region, the plains of the Hérault, and the Aude Valley. Some of it comes from the East Audois, a cold region that brings acidity and freshness to the wine.
In the vineyard
The young terraced vines are pruned in the "cordon de Royat" style (trellised).
Winemaking
The 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 breeding takes place for a few months on fine lees, under a carbonic atmosphere. The bottling of this Sauvignon Blanc is early.
Varietal
Sauvignon blanc : 100%
