VARIETAL COMPOSITION Botrytised Sauvignon Blanc
VINEYARD Kimmeridgian marl soils. Grapes are delicately hand harvested to avoid damaging (and thus oxidation) of the shriveled bunches.
VINIFICATION: A slow and careful pressing releases the liquid that will ferment at low temperature in Tronçais forest oak barrels. When winter arrives and the fermentation stops, the residual sugar gives this wine a suaveness and delicacy all its own. For the next 15 months, this extraordinary wine will rest and mature in oak barrels before bottling.
