Winemaking Notes: The wine is made in such a way as to display this fruit while extracting its substance as gently as possible. The Sauvignon and Muscadelle are subjected to skin contact for 18 to 24 hours. The Semillon is pressed as soon as it arrives in the cellar. The juice is then allowed to ferment at a low temperature (16°C) in order to achieve ideal fruitiness. After aging on fine lees for 3 months, the vines are then blended.

Tasting Notes: Using old Cabernet Franc vines that were grafted in March 2005, this entirely hand harvested white wine is made from the three major Bordeaux white varieties. This blend contributes directly to the balance of the wine. The Sauvignon produces aromatic strength and freshness, while the Semillon complements this with a certain degree of roundness on the palate. The Muscadelle adds intense white flower notes to the aromatic range of the finished wine. This is a white wine with intense white and citrus fruit aromas, which is both fresh and round on the palate. Its balance makes it an ideal accompaniment for fish and seafood.
