Nose

Highly expressive on the nose, fresh and pure, releasing a hint of citrus fruit interweaved with floral notes.

Palate

Taut, lively and very well-balanced on the palate, developing appealing breadth thanks to a touch of Semillon. The bracingly fresh and harmonious finish attests to the great elegance of the mineral character of sauvignon blanc on limestone, typical of Château La Garde white wine.

Harvest

Harvest : manual picking in small crates, plot by plot, in the morning when temperatures are cooler.

Winemaking

Pressing under inert gas (to preserve freshness). Fermentation in oak barrels.

Aging

8 months in oak barrels (12% of which are new) with stirring of the lees.

Appearance

Pale in colour and tinged with green glints.
