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
2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. ln addition to a very early frost in the spring, which affected the vineyard just as the vines were starting to bud, there was a long period of exceptional drought from May until the end of September. The result was low yields and a perfect state of health at harvest time throughout the vineyard.

Dégustation
A very lovely pale yellow colour.
Quite intense, the nose exhales smoky notes, mixed with delicate citrus aromas (grapefruit, lemon, etc.).
Sweetness and roundness are present from the outset. The mid-palate is full-bodied and freshness that balances out the wine's fullness. The citrus notes on the nose follow us here, blending harmoniously with a few white fruit (pear) that come to the fore as the tasting progresses. The pleasant freshness adds length to this Act II.
