Info about the wine
Sauvignon Blanc from the Terres Blanches, i.e. from white clay on marl and Kimmeridge limestone with high proportions of oyster fossils. The Sauvignon, which has been certified organic since 2009 and biodynamically cultivated since 2015, is grown in the plots Les Champs du Roin Haut et Bas, La Côte des Prés, Les Déserts, Le Domaine du Bouchot, Les Champs Frisés, Les Genièvres, Les Bascoins and Les Champs de la Croix on a total of 8.32 hectares. The age of the vines is 35 to 40 years.
Color
Pale yellow with silvery and green reflections.
Nose
The 2020 Pouilly Fumé Terres Blanche immediately wins you over. Bright and fresh, the aromas of lemon, lemon peel, apple, gooseberry, fresh mint and lemon balm radiate from the glass. Salty notes make it appear cool and emphasise its minerality. A beautiful and lively start.
Palate
Fresh and at the same time concise, it lays itself on the tongue. Here, the aromas of the nose are joined by hints of flint, anise and grapefruit peel. Its fine tannin and again the salty vein and the fresh acidity love the combination with vegetables, which bring delicate bitter notes, top also to fish and shellfish!
Enjoy from large glasses, oxygen makes it win.
