Ripened orchard and tropical fruit scents, crisp and citrusy upfront on the palate yet with a refreshing mineral finish. Lush, aromatic and structured. The perfect crowd pleaser.

Eventhough 2018 spring was rainy prior to the budburst, this stage and following ones beneficiated a clean dry weather. The warm and dry summer optimized the maturity of fruits and the aromatic component of Sauvignon Blanc. Harvest started on September 14th. After vinification, wines revealed to be lush, aromatic and structured. An excellent vintage.

Sandy gravel soil, oceanic climate with high igrometrie yet with very good airing. Excellent conditions for Sauvignon blanc with strong aromatics.
