Features

Il nous paraissait intéressant de vous faire découvrir un autre visage d'un cépage bien connu chez nous. Le Sauvignon est apparu la première fois à Constantion Grooth à la fin du XIXème siècle. Mais il faut attendre 1977 pour voir apparaître la première cuvée 100 % Sauvignon. Depuis, son succès ne se dément pas. Il est maintenant le troisième cépage blanc du pays avec 10 % de la surface totale.

Cépage : 100 % Sauvignon blanc

Terroir : combinaison d'arènes granitiques et de limon sablonneux sur un socle argileux. Exposition sud, sud-est

Agriculture : "sustainable" comme disent les anglo-saxons, sans herbicide ni pesticides (chimiques)

Vendanges : manuelles

Vinification et élevage : en cuve à basse température, puis mise en bouteille précoce pour préserver le fruit et le fraîcheur

Potentiel de vieillissement : d'après le site du producteur, une demi-heure, le temps de vider une première bouteille et d'aller en chercher une seconde ;-)

Dégustation : La robe est jaune pâle aux reflets argentés. Le nez est tonique, sur le bourgeons de cassis, la fleur de sureau et le zeste de pomelo. La bouche est une bombe de fraîcheur, avec un léger perlant qui accentue encore le phénomène. L'aromatique est un subtile mélange de citronnade et de bourgeons de cassis, sans que ce soit too much. La finale est fringante, savoureuse, mêlant habilement amertume et astringence, avec une persistance sur l'écorce de pomelo... et toujours (subtilement) le bourgeon de cassis.

What is an author wine?

This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.

An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.

This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.

As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
