Presentation

Presentation video
Terroir
This 100% Sémillon is produced from vines located near Lieu-Dit Mahon in the village of Pujols-sur-Ciron, several minutes from Sauternes and Langon. "Mahon" is an old French word for poppy or red flower. These plots were selected for their sandy terroir on a deep gravel subsoil, conducive to good hydration and limiting water stress.
Winemaking
This Sémillon comes from direct pressing. Fermentation takes place in new 225-liter barrels, on clear juice. It occurs at a lower temperature, between 16 and 18 °C, for twelve to fifteen days.
Ageing
Regular stirring during the 8 months of aging in new barrels gives the wine richness and volume.
