CSPC#: 769564

Vineyard: Situated in Saint-Laurent-du-Bois

Production Area: A mild climate (due to the Atlantic Ocean). Lots of sunshine, and regular rain, the hillside situation and the clay-limestone soil and gravels offer the best conditions for the growth of the vines and the grapes.

Training System: The vineyard is held up by Guyot double (Bordeaux style) to obtain the best maturity and also to avoid phytosanitary disease. The vine is held up by wires.

Alcohol: 12.5% by vol.

Colour: A pale yellow robe with green reflections.

Aroma: The dominance of Sauvignon Blanc reveals intense flavours of white flowers, citrus and white fruits.

Tasting Notes: While in the mouth, the Sémillon brings roundness, volume and
richness with pleasant notes of citrus fruits. A fine liveliness leads to a great finale.

Enjoy With: Vegetable platters, oysters, seafood, fish, appetizers, grilled salmon…
