The grapes were hand-harvested, with each variety brought in separately and only when the fruit had reached its optimal maturity. The vinification process was tailored to respect the unique characteristics of each grape variety and to capture the essence of the Sauvageonne terroir. The grapes were destemmed and chilled to 8°C, then lightly pressed to extract only the finest juice. The must was then allowed to settle at controlled temperatures, followed by fermentation, which lasted between 15 to 30 days, depending on the degree of clarification. Halfway through fermentation, a proportion of the must was transferred into 225-litre oak barrels for six months of maturation. The wine was left to mature over fine lees with regular stirring. Gently fined the wine was bottled early to retain freshness.
It is a complex and highly aromatic blend with hints of hawthorn and almond, floral notes and flashes of mango and apricot. A delicate hint of oak, with accents of gingerbread and tobacco, comes through on the rich and unctuous palate. A wine of great substance, volume and freshness.

Winery | Chateau la Sauvageonne is an illustrious winemaking estate where optimal sun exposure, excellent location, and exceptional terroir combine to produce wines of distinctive character. The vines are planted in the northern reaches of the Herault department, in the shadow of the Causse du Larzac limestone plateau. This region has its unique micro-climate, with substantial temperature variations: the distance from the sea and proximity of the Causse provide a touch of freshness on summer nights, allowing the grapes to mature slowly and gradually. |
