Pays d'Hérault Jean-Michel Alquier Les Pierres Blanches 2006

The wine

This pure Sauvignon Blanc is cultivated in a terroir rich in clay, limestone and schist. Vinified as naturally as possible, it is matured in concrete tanks to retain the natural fresh fruitiness of the variety. Upon tasting, its golden appearance exudes white fruit notes and a fine mineral character. Its fresh, fruity palate makes it ideal as an apéritif, or for serving with delicacies.

About the Producer Bardi d'Alquier

Jean Michel Alquier oversees this estate nested in the heart of the Faugères appellation. Jean-Michel Alquier has continued the family tradition passed down to him from his father and grandfather, producing wines which combine finesse, complexity, and expression of terroir. The vineyard encompasses 12 hectares, 11 of which are devoted to producing red wines, where the schistic soil of the hillside slopes are mainly given over to Syrah and Grenache Noir.
