White varietals: This white wine is a single varietal Sauvignon.
Soil types: The vineyards are located in Limoux, in the upper Aude valley. The
area has three different weather patterns – Atlantic, Mediterranean and
Pyrenean – which promote development of aromas in the grapes during the
ripening phase, producing a varied range of wine profiles.
Vineyard management: The vines are trained on wires and harvested by
machine or by hand in some rigorously selected vineyards. Yields total 70
hl/ha.
Winemaking: The grapes are harvested by machine and by hand by night to
benefit from the cool night time temperatures. The fruit is destemmed and
undergoes short skin-contact maceration. The juice is clarified at low
temperatures (7°C). Temperatures are regularly controlled throughout the
fermentation process. Small amounts of yeast can be added at the start of
fermentation to improve aroma development.
Tasting notes: A fresh, nervy wine with a beautiful golden colour tinged with
green. Floral with notes of citrus fruits and freshly-cut grass.
Drink preferably within the year following bottling.
Drinking temperature: 10 to 12°C
Food pairings: This wine makes the perfect choice of aperitif, served wellchilled, and also pairs with fish and seafood as well as white meats. Similarly,
it can be enjoyed on its own when reading a good book or chatting with
friends.
