Nose
The fresh array of citrus-packed lemon and grapefruit aromas on the complex nose are immediately inviting, accompanied by a typical note of sauvignon on limestone.
Palate
An immediately forthcoming, very direct wine, developing an elegant, crisp character that gains in intensity on the mid-palate and culminates in a long, saline, juicy finish. This is a very great vintage, refined and chiselled.
Harvest
Harvest : manual picking in small crates, plot by plot, in the morning when temperatures are cooler.
Winemaking
12 hours storage in a cold room before pressing the grapes inert gas (to preserve freshness). Alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels. 5% new, and in oak vats.
Aging
Ageing in the same oak barrels and oak vats, on fine lees during 8 months. Stirring of the lees.
Appearance
Magnificent appearance flecked with straw yellow.
