Presentation
Presentation
The wines from this estate are strongly influenced by traditional production methods, and are ambassadors for their appellations.
Location
The vineyard is located on the right bank of Cher, in a hill exposed to the South.
Terroir
There is an ideal microclimate thanks to a beautiful light, regular aeration and low rainfall. The exceptional terroir is composed of clay and flint stones (« perruche ») that permits a great maturity of Sauvignon.
Winemaking
Ripening is regularly monitored by tasting the grapes. The grapes are picked when perfectly ripe, with optimum fruity aromas. The grapes are gently pressed, then undergo brief cold settling to retain maximum aromatic potential. Cold stabilised (5 days). Traditional temperature-controlled fermentation (17-19°C).
Ageing
Aged on the lees for 6-8 months with regular bâtonnage (stirring) before bottling in june.
Varietal
Sauvignon blanc : 100%
