82% SAUVIGNON BLANC, 10% SÉMILLON, 8% MUSCADELLE
Produced from a blend of Sauvignon, Sémillon and Muscadelle, this wine has a brilliant, pale color with green tints. The nose reveals notes of citrus and ripe apricot. As the glass is swirled, tropical fruits and white peach notes appear. The wine dances across the palate with ripe fruit and a beautiful freshness. Drink from now, either as an aperitif, with cold starters, shellfish or grilled fish.
It’s difficult to draw conclusions about the vintage from the climatic conditions of 2019, as they are so varied from one month to the next. After a mild and wet winter, budburst was very early – around 25 March at Thénac. The most striking feature of the year was undoubtedly July. We did not see any rainfall from 21 June to 28 July, with scorching temperature of over 40°C. Fortunately, August and September completely changed the situation. Milder temperatures in these months allowed the vines to relax and thus obtain perfect ripeness. As a result, the harvest took place under perfect conditions, beginning on 11 September and ending on 10 October.
