AOC Pessac-Léognan
This is undoubtedly the quintessential Bordeaux single-vineyard wine. Sauvignon Blanc on this very special terroir, where gravel outcrops onto clay-limestone subsoil, expresses itself with a precision and breed that make this classified growth unique.

Conditions météorologiques
2020 was marked by very mild temperatures and contrasting precipitation: heavy spring rainfall was followed by an intense summer drought. The fairly mild winter led to early bud break. The summer heat gave way to cool nights in late August, ideal for ripening grapes.

Dégustation
Colour is pale yellow with green and silver highlights.
Intense, the nose is beautifully complex, with initially citrus notes (grapefruit, lemon), enhanced by a slight smokiness. After aeration, notes of white flowers complete the bouquet.
On the palate, this wine is full and round. Nice balance with a freshness that brings a lot of length.
