France, Bordeaux AOC
Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon
Description
A beautiful pale yellow with greenish tints, a generous nose of tropical fruits, floral and citrus fragrances, ending with marked mineral notes. On the palate, the volume and freshness are further indications of the richness of the Sauvignon, which forms a perfect alliance with the old Sémillon vines to deliver a wonderfully fresh, harmonious balance. A lingering, mineral finish rounds out this fine white Bordeaux.

Traditional, but sustainable. Average age of vines 30 years.
Vinification
The Sémillon grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic press. The Sauvignon grapes undergo pre-fermentation maceration for 12-14 hours, after which they too are pressed. The juice is cold-settled to clarify it. Some is then run into new barrels and the rest into stainless steel vats for the alcoholic fermentation.
Maturation
The wine is aged on fine lees for 2 to 3 months and stirred regularly.
