- An enticing bouquet of bright citrus, tropical notes, and chalky minerality. Lively and fresh with passionfruit and zesty lemon flavours enveloped by a stony mineral character on the long, mouthwatering finish.
The hand-sorted grapes were slowly pressed to release their aroma, and they must undergo cold settling. Fermentation, lasting four weeks, took place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 16°C to 21°C under inert conditions to reduce the need for sulphur. Maturation occurred in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees until the following spring to impart greater finesse and more intense aromas.

| Winery | The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are planted on the southeastern side of the Sancerre appellation; the plots extend over three areas: Thauvenay, Menetreol-sousSancerre and Vinon. The terroir comprises the renowned flinty and chalky-clayey soils of Sancerre. The yields are limited to ensure good flavour concentration in the grapes. The vineyard is meticulously farmed with the greatest respect for the environment; for many years, the vines have been cultivated without chemical preparations, biodiversity has been encouraged, and soil preservation strategies have been employed, along with water resource management. In 2019, they were awarded the HVE Level 3 certification, and since 2020, the estate has been converted to organic certification. Harvesting takes place during the cool of the night to maintain freshness. |
