For this white wine, we travel to the Côtes de Gascogne, a region where the Sauvignon Blanc grape, among others, thrives. The slightly cooler temperatures in this region give the Sauvignon Blanc grapes the wonderful acidity that characterizes the grape's origins. It's important that the ripening doesn't happen too quickly. The winemakers at Pierre Jean know better than anyone how to handle Sauvignon Blanc, and this white wine certainly proves that. After a calm and balanced growing season, the grapes have reached the right ripeness and are ready to be picked. The mechanical harvest takes place early in the morning. This hardens the grape skins and makes them more resistant to any bruising during transport. Once arrived at the winery, the grapes are gently pressed so that only the finest juice reaches the tank. After vinification, the wine is aged in the bottle for another three months for a perfect finish.
A perfect finish, for sure! What a delightful summery white wine! The color is pale yellow with a light green glint in the glass. The nose offers beautiful aromas of citrus, freshly mown grass, and white fruit. This translates into a crisp white wine that, despite its acidity, has a pleasantly mild undertone. Delicious nuances of pear and apple interspersed with hints of citrus. The finish is lively, youthful, and wonderfully summery. Drink this wine in summer or winter; you'll always bring sunshine into your home with this white wine from Pierre Jean.
