This wine is made exclusively from Sauvignon grapes grown at Clos des Treilles. Located on a hillside in Parassy with excellent south/southeast exposure, the vineyard benefits from Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils. The winemaking process is meticulous, with aging in 60-hectoliter casks on the lees without stirring for 18 months, resulting in remarkable structure and a rich texture. This careful attention gives the wine a freshness and density that make it ideal for a wide range of food and wine pairings.
