Certification Agriculture Biologique (Certified Organic & Vegan) – Premium Cuvée

World Sauvignon Competition 2013 – GOLD medal. Sommelier Wine Awards 2016 – GOLD medal

Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Appellation: IGP Val de Loire (VDP), France – Touraine–Chenonceaux

Vineyard: Choussy

Soil: Sandy topsoil sitting on top of a thick layer of excellent smectite clay.

Vintage: A challenging year of very cold winter, frosts and rain before a dry, sunny summer meant yields were low – but it was one of our most successful vintages ever winning a gold medal for this wine at the World Sauvignon Competition.

Winemaking: Handpicked, barrel fermented and matured on lees for 9 months in new French oak.

Technical: Alc./Vol. 13% | Residual sugar 2.8 g/L | Free / Total Sulphur levels 16/112 mg/L | Bottled May 2013 | Production 2,000 bottles

Notes: An exceptional sauvignon, barrel fermented and matured on lees for ten months from the 2012 vintage grown on the Choussy vineyard. The nose has delicate toasty aromas, with elderflower, citrus blossom and hints of exotic fruit. The palate is long and textured and layered with citrus, lotus, white peach and subtle, exotic mango flavours underpinned by characteristic minerality.
