Tasting notes
The cuvée “Pierre Alexandre” allows us to express another idea of what Sauvignon can be like. Its aromas of candied fruits, of over-ripeness and vanilla place it in another category. Drink between 5° and 8° with white meats, calves sweetbreads, fish in sauce, foie gras. It can be kept for 5 to 10 years.
Vinification
This is a specially selected and prepared parcel, the grapes are sorted and havested when over ripe, pressed pneumatically as whole berries, fermented and matured one year in new barrels, bottled in winter.
