Grapes: 100 % Sémillon
Vineyard: Boulbène, a local type of clay with sand and limestone
Making of: the grapes are harvested manually and then destemmed. The whole berries are macerated on skins for 6 weeks, with primary and malolactic fermentation happening spontaneously, at the same time. The free-run juice is then aged in a “cigar” barrel whose elongated form gives the wine more freshness and length in the mouth. After 24 months of vinification in total, the wine is bottled without fining or filtering, with a bit of sulfur.
Personality: generous orange wine with an intense nose of honey and white flowers, round and fruity in the mouth. Refreshing acidity and good, fine finish – serve not too cold to enjoy the taste layers. Feel free to keep some bottles even for later, it has nice potential for some cellaring.
