• This wine is produced on sand and silt soils.
Each variety is harvested separately, when grape sugars and acids have reached
an optimal balance, and then undergoes a period of skin contact. Free-run
and press juices are separated and then left to settle in order to obtain
very clear musts. This is an essential factor for the ageing on lees which
follows. Fermentation lasts for a month at a controlled temperature of 16
C and the wines are then aged on their lees for 6 months to obtain a richer
mouthfeel and better aromas. A rigorous selection of the best wines is then
blended : 50% Semillon, 30% Sauvignon blanc, 10% Sauvignon gris and 10% Muscadelle.
It’s a cheerful wine to be drunk young ( over the following two years
).
