Comment

For N°1 Blanc, the desire for a great aromatic wine whose power is based on a good structure, favors the choice of Sauvignon Blanc. A rigorous selection of plots makes it possible to identify the best quality potential of the terroir and the grape variety. From growing the vines to harvesting, the winegrowers work closely with the Dourthe oenologists. Skin maceration and low temperature fermentation release all the aromatic richness of the healthy, ripe grape variety and give the wine structure and length. Aging on fine lees with stirring for 6 months reinforces the balance, finesse and intensity of the aromas obtained.

Tasting

N°1 Blanc 2020 offers a very aromatic, lively and elegant wine. On the nose, the bouquet presents intense citrus notes (lemon, grapefruit) supported by an elegant minerality, characteristic of Sauvignon on limestone soil. The palate, tense, ample and tasty, is supported throughout the tasting by a beautiful freshness. The whole, very harmonious, ends with a long aromatic finish.
