Presentation

Presentation video
Terroir
This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is grown on clay-limestone terroirs located near Font Renard, in Saint Caprais de Blaye. The plots benefit from good south-east sun exposure, conducive to vine growth, which captures the morning light while remaining protected from warmer sunshine during the rest of the day, and benefits from cooler temperatures in the evening.
Winemaking
This wine is made by direct pressing, fermented in French oak barrels, and aged on its lees with regular bâtonnage (lees stirring) for eight months.
Varietal
Sauvignon blanc : 100%
