Intensity
A Sauvignon with delicate minerality and a certain fullness. To enjoy cool with a fish recipe!
More infoThe Boucauds parcel is located right next to the domain on clay-chalk soil and marly earth. The vines are between 10 and 50 years old, and are exposed to the south-east at an altitude of 200-235 metres. These elements all confer richness and minerality to this cuvée. The grapes are picked by hand before a careful sorting process. They are then pressed pneumatically and the must is clarified at low temperatures. Vinification take place in stainless steel vats and barrels. Maturation takes 7-8 months on lees with some stirring. This wine reveals aromas of white fruit and citrus, being a Sauvignon at once ample and solid. It has a lovely acidity and a delicate minerality. We recommend serving this cuvée with fish and crustacean dishes.
Fin et délicat, ce sancerre est floral (sureau, fleur blanche), salin, avec une grande fraîcheur et un élevage intégré donnant une texture poudrée au vin. Très joli (dégusté au salon Biodyvin le 20/10/2025).
