Villa Blanche
A delicate pale yellow with light green highlights. A highly aromatic nose of grapefruit and orange, succeeded by exotic fruit like mango, papaya, pineapple, and lime, finishing on elegant mineral notes lifted by thiol type aromas of aniseed and boxwood. Lively, fresh, and full in the mouth with perfectly balanced exotic notes of mandarin, pink grapefruit and pineapple paving the way to blackcurrant buds, dill, and lemon. An outstandingly fresh, clean, and focussed wine whose complexity and vivacity are just stunning. A blend of Sauvignons from different terroirs that offers all the brilliance of the Villa Blanche wines.

Terroir
The vines grow in three different zones of the Languedoc… Mediterranean, Oceanic and Pyrenean, in gravelly, limestone clay terroirs. This enables us to produce a superbly balanced Sauvignon Blanc of immense complexity.
Vinification
The grapes are picked at night in two harvests. One that is early to obtain natural freshness in the wine, and the second ten days later to give us outstanding concentration and varietal aromas. Total destemming is followed by maceration for two hours at 5°C and fermentation in thermo-regulated vats at 14°C. Particular attention is paid to protecting the juice from oxidation, which enables us to obtain a very expressive Sauvignon Blanc. The wine undergoes no malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness.
