Winemaking
After gentle pressing and 24-hour static settling, this wine ferments in stainless steel tanks (15-18°C), then ages for 5 months on its fine fermentation lees.
Tasting
This charming, flattering wine has a floral and smoky character (representative of the Sauvignon grape variety), which contributes to the wine's harmony. This dry white wine expresses its typicality through fruity elegance, roundness and persistence.
Food pairing
It goes wonderfully with shellfish, fish, white meats and goat's cheese. How about a Turbot Roll with Spinach and Feta, or as a cheese, a Crottin de Chavignol with Toasted Sesame Seeds?
