Production notes
Made from the estate's oldest Sauvignon Blanc plot, this limited cuvée is aged in 12-hl amphorae for 18 months. The slow, prolonged action and careful aging in sandstone amphorae reveal the gentle depth, minerality, and saline notes of the Kimmeridgian limestone.
Tasting notes
Pale gold in color and crystalline in brilliance, this wine opens with a subtle nose of flint and sea breeze. The first sip is crisp and salty, like a touch of sea spray, with refreshing citrus notes mingling with its mineral core. Despite its liveliness, the wine possesses a subtle depth and structure that reveal themselves with each sip. The finish is clean and long, leaving a lasting impression of limestone purity and citrus zest. Pair with oysters and seafood
