GRAND VIN WHITE 2009


    ree


    Vin de Pays d’Oc


    Soil: Clayey limestone Grape variety: Sauvignon Harvest: By hand, in crates, with sorting Harvest start date: 26 and 27 August 2009 Vinification: Slow pressing - Racking 50 % fermented in new barrels and 50 % in barrels used for 2 wines Maturing: In barrels, on the lees with stirring Alcoholic strength: 13 % vol. Packaging: 75 cl Bordeaux bottles



    Tasting notes: Initial preserved citrus fruit aromas, especially orange peel, followed by hints of aniseed against a smoky background. These very mellow aromas convey a sensation of softness. Acidulous notes are added to the bouquet on the palate, where the wine remains fresh despite its considerable richness. The finish is very long and fleshy.


    Serving suggestions: This rich wine may be served with a wide range of dishes, such as oily fish, sauces and white meats, and also goes very well with cheese or foie gras. Or why not try it with Asian dishes?

    Do not serve this wine too cold, and give it plenty of aeration.

      Vin de Pays d’Oc


      Soil: Clayey limestone Grape variety: Sauvignon Harvest: By hand, in crates, with sorting Harvest start date: 8 September Vinification: Slow pressing - Racking 50 % fermented in new barrels and 50 % in barrels used for 2 wines Maturing: In barrels, on the lees with stirring Alcoholic strength: 13 % vol. Packaging: 75 cl Bordeaux bottles



      Tasting notes: The bouquet is immediately rich and concentrated, with a mellow, harmonious mix of aromas: vanilla, smoke, white blossom, preserved citrus fruit and, later, almonds and hazelnuts. Great finesse and fullness on the palate, revealing lemon and dried fruit flavours, and followed by a volume and liveliness that leads on to persistent mineral notes.


      Serving suggestions: This wine should be laid down in order to achieve its full expression. If it is opened young, it should be decanted to allow its aromas to develop to the full. It should develop favourably towards white blossom and mineral aromas until at least 2015. The wine’s strength means that it may be enjoyed with a wide variety of dishes or foods, such as fish cooked in sauce, whiter meats and poultry, a wide range of cheeses, foie gras or exotic dishes (curry, Asian cuisine …)

        Tasting notes: A rich, concentrated bouquet appears immediately, with mellow, harmonious notes of vanilla, white blossom, paprika and resin.
