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
2023 was marked by a uniform start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and the bunches emerged beautifully. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.

Tasting
Lovely pale yellow colour with green highlights.
Very expressive, the nose seduces with its aromatic intensity, revealing delicious notes of exotic fruits and white fruits.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and delicious, with a lovely mid-palate, enhanced by a lovely freshness. The balance between richness and freshness is quite remarkable. A great tasting experience!
