Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from a parcel of old vines averaging 60 years old. Coming from plots with good southeast exposure in Saint-Satur, grown on particularly rich clay-silica soils
Taste Profile: With its "flint" aromas, its concentration and its finesse, "Le Grand Roc" will surprise you for many years (6-8 years). Powerful aromas of gunflint & a spicy bouquet, it has a bolder honeyed tone compared to Gerard Fiou's cuvee
Winemaking Process: Part of the wine is vinified in vats and another part in new oak barrels. The wine is then matured on its fine lees for 10 months, with regular stirring of the lees to bring them back into suspension.
Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.
Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
