Presentation
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.
The vintage
The weather in 2024 was extreme, with heavy rainfall, lack of sunshine and cool temperatures, making the fight against vine diseases particularly difficult. After a somewhat difficult flowering period with some coulure, a more favourable period in August allowed the grapes to change colour evenly, followed by a rapid harvest in September to preserve the quality of the grapes. This vintage marks a return to normal harvest dates.

Tasting
Pale yellow colour with green tints and a beautiful brilliance.
The nose is expressive and seductive, with aromas of exotic fruits (pineapple, mango) mixed with notes of fresh citrus.
On the palate, the attack is lively and refreshing. The wine then develops a fine fullness, with a supple, generous body. The whole is balanced, harmonious and delicious, with a fine tension that prolongs the tasting.
An expressive, well-balanced white, combining accessibility and finesse.
