It can also be blended with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec. These wines reveal a superb aromatic palette, and will please both the initiated and the neophyte.
The white wines are mainly made from Sauvignon Blanc and reveal clear aromas of exotic fruits and citrus fruits, typical of the variety. These wines are fresh and offer a beautiful aromatic intensity. Sémillon and Muscadelle can also be added to Sauvignon Blanc, to give more roundness to the wines and attenuate the natural acidity.
