Sauvignon is a difficult grape variety to grow and make into wine, which makes it highly satisfying for good producers.
The vineyards are located in Cormons at the foot of the hill, where the soil is deeper and siltier, retaining moisture better.
The wine is soft, full and balanced, despite its high acidity and alcohol content, and has the delicate aromatic notes typical of the variety.
It is aged on the lees in 2,500-litre oval barrels and bottled in the autumn following the harvest.
It is a linear but Mediterranean wine, with unusually good development, in which the palate maintains what the nose promises, displaying good balance and elegance.
