A nose with notes of white flowers and sugared almonds... Palate: a delicate juice, clean and fresh, with beautiful intensity, and lovely bitter notes on the finish. To be paired asap with a goat cheese, preferably dry.

This cuvée is 100% Sauvignon from 30- to 50-year-old vines, farmed organically and biodynamically, certified since 2012. The vines, pruned in simple Guyot, are planted on a plateau and south-facing slopes on limestone soils, covering 6.8 hectares. Hand-harvested. Vinification: destemmed grapes, direct pressing, aged in stainless steel tanks for one year. All cellar work follows the lunar calendar. Light sulfur addition at bottling.
Paul Fouassier
Paul Fouassier, who earned his viticulture and oenology degree in 1998, worked in several leading Bordeaux châteaux (Pavie and Angelus among others) before returning to his large family estate in 2001. The estate holds 60 hectares, 50 ha of Sauvignon and 10 ha of Pinot, which he manages with his cousin Benoît. The duo represents the 10th generation, drawing the best from the rigour of Benoît...
