Tasting Notes
The nose opens with clean aromas of hazelnut, white flowers and blackcurrant. The palate is rich and well-balanced, with a delicate and velvety texture followed by notes of fresh licorice on the finish.
Vineyards
This Pouilly-Fumé is produced from a large parcel located in the Congy region. The vines are planted in Kimmeridgian limestone soils, made up of fossilized shellfish dating back to the quaternary era. This unique soil profile brings out fruity aromas in the finished wine.
Winemaking
The winemaking process is traditional, with the use of thermoregulated steel tanks to extract fruity aromas from the Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The wine is then matured in stainless steel.

May 2024
A friendly, fruity and playful 100% sauvignon blanc with green apples, dried pears and fresh herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a fruit-driven character. Drink now.”
Wine Enthusiast
December 2024
This wine opens with lilac, peach, crushed stones, papaya and quince blossom. A mouthwatering palate of orchard fruit including golden apple is lifted by energetic acidity that races to an orange-citrus-infused finish. Serve with poultry, seafood and roasted cauliflower.
Wine Spectator
November 2024
Supple and rich, this glides along, offering yellow plum, fleshy melon and lychee notes flecked with dried thyme. Shows restraint and quickness, with every element well-integrated in harmony. Solid and beautifully textured. Drink now through 2025.
