About: Sauvignon Blanc from a plot planted by Christophe's father in the 90's in an effort to diversify the families' portfolio for the international market. It didn't work out, but in 2017 Christophe convinced his father to let him try making a skin contact white from this small forgotten plot and now in 2019 he is realising the full potential, far more balanced with an umami almost savoury edge. Unmistakable Sauvignon, topped up with some (20%) direct press Welschriesling juice during fermentation to lift freshness. Rare and special, buy two bottles, one for now and keep the other for a couple of years.
