APPELLATION MONTRAVEL DRY

Bottle Traditional 75 cl, 37.5 cl
“In monte revelationem”

Regional grape variety 80% Sauvignon blanc

Sémillon and Muscadelle

Soil clay limestone


The Sauvignon grapes are harvested a little before their complete maturation, as soon as the sugar level is enough. That will make a crip and aromatic wine

We care a lot about the sanitary state of the harvest. Indeed, the grapes contain the aroma precursor, that are present with wholesome harvest.

After cleaning the harvest, we do a prefermentation of 10 hours. The juice is kept in contact with the grapes in neutral atmosphere, generaly CO2.

Then, the harvest is pressed, put in vat, cooled down at 5°c to get the sediments fall down. That’s what we call the settling of the juice « débourbage ».

To follow this « débourbage », we put the wines under temperarure control, to extract a maximum of aromas. The deposit from the must are filtred and added back to the product, to get the structure and the aromatic potential that makes the reputation of our vineyards.

 
       
 

TESTING COMMENTS

- Pale yellow coulor, with green reflects. A very bright wine.

- Intense and complex nose. First, floral with a hint of minerality. Shaking it, it gets more on the fruit side, as peach and pear, in a smooth and complex way.

- In mouth, round with crunshy grapes, fresh pineapple and peach aromas. The finish is lemony, bringing freshness and crispness, wich will match seafood, Tapas and aperitifs.

APPELLATION HAUT MONTRAVEL CONTROLEE

Bottle Traditional 75 cl, 37.5 cl
“In monte revelationem”

Regional grape variety Sémillon and Muscadelle

Soil clay limestone


The grapes are harvested the last one of the estate to let the surmaturation, the botritys, grows to make the HAUT MONTRAVEL. After a soft press out, the juice is clarified (seperation of the main sediments), and put under controles temperature.

The fermentation is stopped before complete transformation of the sugar in alcohol to maintain a light sweetnessest. We interupt the fermentation by taking down the temperature of the wine and by strong filtration. The bottling is done after 2 or 3 racking.
 

 
       
 

 

TESTING COMMENTS

- Shiny goldy yellow colour.

- Fine nose, discret peach flowers and almonds notes.

- Good balance in mouth between ripe fruits and white flowers aromas. The soft sweetness and little acidity at the end make this wine nice and subtle.

- To drink chilled, as an aperitif, with light seasonal fruit mousse, curry or foie gras.

- This wine will get his culminated point in a year time.
