Tasting Notes

Pale yellow hue, green tints, wonderful brilliance. Floral notes, exotic fruit and citrus fruit and a hint of vegetal elements. Fresh, fruity and slightly vegetal on the attack, quite round on the. A really pleasant and thirst-quenching wine.

Vinification Details

Vinified in our pressing room in Touraine. The grapes are picked in a rigorous plot selection and pressed directly. The must is racked thoroughly and is then put to ferment at ultra-low temperature (14C). The wines are then aged on fine lees for 4 months during which times the lees are stirred regularly. All the processes such as wine transfer or handling of the wine or must are carried out under CO2 protection to maximise aromatic retention.
