Sauvignon Blanc – Pétillant

Vin de France

Nose

Huge aromatic complexity on the nose with smoky and citrus aromas emerging, followed by riper touches of apricot and peach to create a denser whole.

Appearance

Pale, bright yellow colour.

Mouth

On the palate, fine bubbles reveal intense Sauvignon Gris notes supported by the wine’s freshness.

Characteristics

The presence of a small amount of carbon dioxide adds a unique freshness to the delicate Sauvignon Gris aromas.

WINEMAKING TECHNIQUES

Date of optimum ripeness determined by tasting each plot, harvesting by machine (between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m.) to take advantage of the cool temperatures and limit oxidation phenomena. Maceration on the skins (8-12 hours), pneumatic pressing then cold stabilisation at 8-10°C for 5 to 8 days, based on tasting.

Fermentation at 16-18°C to reveal the typical natural aromas of Sauvignon Gris.
