Sauvignon Blanc

IGP Côtes de Gascogne

Sauvignon Blanc
Nose
The citrus typical of the Sauvignon Blanc grape dominates on the nose, with lemon, lime and exotic fruit aromas.
Appearance
A beautifully pale, bright yellow appearance with hints of grey/green.
Mouth
Elegant and lively on the palate with good balance of freshness. Intense blackcurrant leaf, exotic fruit and citrus notes explode in the glass.

Characteristics

‘Les Fumées Blanches’ (meaning ‘white smoke’) owes its name to the morning mist that covers the Sauvignon Blanc vines at the foot of the Montagne Noire between the Atlantic and the Pyrenees.

WINEMAKING TECHNIQUES

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) and/or cold stabilisation at 8/10°C for several days. Pneumatic pressing. At 16-18°C with selected yeast to reveal the typical character of Sauvignon Blanc. On fine lees for several weeks before blending. The wine is kept away from oxygen throughout the winemaking process.
