🌿 Terroir & Craftsmanship
This exceptional Sauvignon Blanc is grown using organic agricultural practices on the prized, south-facing slopes of the Cher River. The vines are rooted in the unique clay-limestone soils of Thésée, which give the wine its signature racy minerality.
To preserve its purity and freshness, the wine undergoes a slow, low-temperature fermentation. It is then aged on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks for 8 months with regular stirring, a process that builds the wine’s complex texture and elegant finish. As a final guarantee of quality, every bottle is sealed with a DIAM cork, ensuring the wine’s purity in every pour.
