La Rencontre Blanc comes from a selection of a few ares of the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines, around 40 years old. The harvest takes place at optimal maturity and is de-stemmed before being put into direct pressing. The alcoholic fermentation begins spontaneously with the native yeasts in new barrels, of one, two and three wines with regular stirring of the lees. The wine is aged for 6 months in vats .
Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
