In a few words ...
The 2018 vintage saw the first release of this new cuvée, named after Philippe's daughter. The vintage was of rare quality, motivating the winemaker to consider a late harvest from his best old vines over 80 years old. Hand-harvested at the end of November 2018, after withstanding autumn weather and snow, the Sauvignon grapes rested for a week in the cellar before being gently pressed for 6 hours. This wine will have fermented naturally several times over many months, before reaching its perfect balance. With 26 g/L of residual sugar, this sweet nectar of Sauvignon Blanc delights the eye with its intense golden color, the nose with its exotic aromas, and the palate with its complex fruitiness.
