Overview
Sarrasine is a small locality near Berrias-et-Casteljau where we grow our best Sauvignon Blanc. The freshness of this terroir is preserved by the valley of Chasse Zac and helps to fully express the rich aromas of this varietal.

Grape Variety

100% Sauvignon Blanc

Aging Potential

2 to 3 years to enjoy the freshness of its vibrant aromas

Terroir

Located in the Southeastern Ardèche, it is a terroir of marls and calcareous clay. Sauvignon Blanc is grown on hillsides where it enjoys the freshness of the valley as well as a mild sun exposure.

Winemaking

Marion Bosquet (in collaboration with PhD Valérie Lavigne from Denis Bourdieu Consulting Group). This cuvée is a selection of the free-run juice and the first press to preserve the aromatic intensity and the freshness. Only the first fermentation is conducted under a strict temperature control. Then, during several months, the wine is aged on lees to get more structure and aromas.

Tasting Notes

A shiny lemon-yellow color, intense citrus (grapefruit) and floral aromas revealed on a very well balance between vivacity and freshness.

Food Pairing

Excellent on its own as a cocktail wine. It pairs perfectly with grilled fish or shellfish. It is stunning with goat cheese served fresh or hot.

Best served at 10°C.
