Layered and dynamic blend with citrus zest, orchard fruit, and mineral-driven backbone.

Nose: Citrus zest, orchard fruit, delicate floral and herbaceous nuances, subtle nut-tinged notes.
Palate: Lively acidity frames broad mid-palate weight and gentle oxidative breadth from extended barrel ageing, giving depth without heaviness. Mineral-driven character reflects quartz-inflected Sologne soils, with subtle saline accents running through.
Finish: Persistent, combining freshness, energy, and texture in an expressive yet balanced profile.
Serve: Chilled, 10–12°C.

A flagship blend aged 30 months in used barriques with zero additions.

A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Menu Pineau, Romorantin, and Chardonnay from Soings-en-Sologne in the Loire Valley, grown on flinty clay and calcareous soils.

Vines: Organically farmed with little to no intervention.
