Blanc Cuvée Lucien
Our Cuvée Lucien is a dry white wine from Sauvignon and is a structured wine raised in oak barrels of the Bertranges forest. This one is planted on two types of soils: white earth and Caillottes.
Grape harvests & Fermentation:The most qualitative plots are selected and harvested when the ripeness of the grapes is optimal. The harvest is then quickly carried out in the winepress where the extraction of the must is carried out in a long cycle at low pressure (pneumatic press).The juice is then put in oak barrels of the Bertranges forest for fermentation between 15 and 18 degrees. After fermentation, the wine on lees continues its breeding of two years.The wine is bottled after the oak casks are assembled and stored at least 6 months before being marketed so that it can betasted as soon as you buy it.
Tasting: Ample, lively and complex wine with notes of vanilla and liquorice. The holding time is 10 years. It should be served between 12 and 14 degrees.
Agreements &dishes:Ideal with a foie gras, it can also accompany cheeses or with spicy dishes.
