Sauvagine
Blanc
Identity
Assemblage de Souvignier Gris, Sauvignon Blanc et Muscadelle.
Souvignier Gris is a naturally disease-resistant grape variety resulting from a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Bronner.
Developed in 1983, it helps viticulture adapt to climate change thanks to its hardiness and low susceptibility to fungal diseases such as downy and powdery mildew. Thanks to this natural resistance, we can do away with the preventive treatments traditionally used in organic farming, particularly copper-based sprays.
It produces vibrant, very fruity wines with excellent oenological qualities.
The vines grow on clay-limestone slopes rich in starfish limestone, bringing aromatic freshness and vibrancy to the wine. Located on hillsides bordering the forest, the vineyard plots are home to rich wildlife, including several endangered species: the common genet, mouse-eared bat, black-winged kite, and fire salamander.
Juices from the finest plots are selected and undergo cold skin maceration. They are then vinified partly in 2- to 3-year-old oak barrels and partly in stainless steel tanks, where malolactic fermentation takes place. The wines are subsequently aged on the lees for 6 months with daily bâtonnage.

Tasting
Sauvagine Blanc displays a bright lemon-yellow color.
The nose offers vibrant notes of exotic fruits, apricot, and citrus.
On the palate, a refreshing acidity is balanced by subtle brioche aromas and the softness of fruity peach notes, typical of Souvignier Gris.
To pair with...
Sauvagine Blanc pairs perfectly with green vegetables, especially those with a touch of bitterness.
This bitterness is balanced by the wine’s vibrancy, aromatic persistence, and the softness of its fruity and brioche notes.
It makes a perfect pairing with white asparagus in a lemon sauce or a purple artichoke carpaccio.
