Our white wines "Dry" and "Soft"

To maintain the freshness of the fruit we harvest our white grapes early.

Dry White

For our white wine Dry, we harvest of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as they retain good acidity and reach 12 to 12.5 degrees potential alcohol.

After about 3 hours of pressing, the juice is racked in the vat for 24 to 48 hours to keep only the fine lees. Depending on the vintage, alcoholic fermentation lasts from 1 to 3 weeks.

We get a dry, silky wine with fresh and fruity notes (citrus mainly). To preserve these qualities, our dry white wine is bottled in the spring following the harvest. It is consumed in the next 5 years.

White fluffy

The reputation of the sweet wines of Montaigne is very old. To perpetuate this noble tradition, we harvest later Sauvignon Blancs and gray Sauvignon so that their sugar concentration reaches a potential of 14 to 15 degrees potential alcohol.

Aplmost about 3 hours of pressing, the juice is racked in the vat for 24 to 48 hours to keep only the fine lees. Depending on the vintage, alcoholic fermentation lasts from 1 to 3 weeks.

We get a sweet wine, a fresh and delicious balance (12 ° alcohol and 45 g / l of residual sugar), with delicate notes of exotic fruits. It is bottled in the spring following the harvest. It can be eaten "on the fruit" in his youth and a few years in the cellar will allow it to develop its aromatic complexity.
