Presentation
Presentation
"In love with the Sauvignon grape variety, I appreciate its aromatic complexity counterbalanced by freshness, vivacity and minerality. I have chosen this cuvée especially for you and I hope that it will give you as much pleasure to taste as I had in making it."

Terroir
Chalky soils giving a nice touch of "smokiness".
Vinification
The grapes are selected early in the morning and at maturity, after careful monitoring in the vineyard, and harvested with care on an aromatic profile of fresh and ripe fruit in order to bring a beautiful complexity. Light settling to preserve the aromatic potential. Vinification at a controlled temperature (19-20°C) to bring out the varietal potential of the Sauvignon.
Ageing
Aged on fine lees with regular stirring of the lees for 5 months to give it a richness in the mouth and a beautiful minerality.
Varietal
Sauvignon blanc : 100%
