TASTING NOTES

Fresh and crisp, detailed and nicely textured, with a core of white peach, yellow apple and anise notes that glide across the palate. The generous flavor intensity is balanced by a gentle, carressing acidity and savory citrus oil accent on the finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Asparagus risotto, artichoke salad, shellfish.

DOMAINE

A domaine that focuses in white wine is rare for the region, but as with many top French wine estates, it is the terroir that drives the viticultural decision-making. Located Northwest of Bordeaux on the right bank of the Gironde River, our partners for our Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc realized early-on the potential for the region to produce elegant, food friendly and hyper-focused whites, and the focus on Bordeaux Blanc continues to this day.

TERROIR

Established on the right bank of the Gironde River, on marine limestone and marl soils particularly adapted to Sauvignon Blanc, a cool, breezy microclimate allows for the retention of acidity in the finished wines, as well as a longer growing season than in the hotter inland vineyards. This permits additional ripening time for the grapes, translating to fuller flavor development while still retaining the refined elegance that is the hallmark of great Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc.

WINEMAKING

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are loaded directly into the press and allowed to macerate on their skins for a number of hours depending on the specific vintage conditions. This allows for additional extraction of aroma, flavor and color. The juice is constantly tasted to prevent the leaching of drying tannins or bitter compounds into the wine. Overnight cold-seettling is followed by stainless steel fermentation and aging, allowing for the production of a fresh, crisp, dry and aromatic Sauvignon Blanc that few winegrowing regions do as well as Bordeaux.
