This blend of half Gros Manseng and half Sauvignon Blanc is crisp, lightly herbal and with a touch of honeyed pear to give it a ripe taste. It has a refreshing, cool character that’s bright and tangy at the end.
Alain’s vineyards will have the increasingly-accepted HVE sustainability certification as of the 2017 vintages. They use organic treatments to minimize pests. Grass is planted in alternating rows, mixed with an abundance of other greens and flowers (and even wild strawberries!), to help with aerations and to add nitrogen to the soil. The winery prefers to protect against mildew using biocontrol methods rather than copper treatments.
