Sauvignon (100%)

Terroir & vinification

The vines are grown on soils composed of clay and limestone, mixed with the tawny-coloured sand typical of the Gascogne region. A twelve-hour cold maceration is done to extract the aromatic precursors". Fermentation occurs at 15°C with specific yeasts. Fine lees are reintroduced after the fermentation process to enhance flavours and refine texture."

Tasting

Pale yellow with green inflections, on the nose there are citrus characteristics as well as hints of gooseberry and box tree. On the palate, it is beautifully fresh and lively with lime, elderflower and herbaceous notes.

Food matches

Le Confidentiel Sauvignon is perfect as an aperitif, but will also accompany any sort of fish, light meats, tangy cheeses and Asian food.

Serving

Served at 10-12°C.

I have really started to enjoy Languedoc Sauvignon Blanc and this wine is one I will be buying again. It is fruity and crisp but it has a silkiness to it too. Just hits the spot!

Such a good Sauvignon Blanc! It is a zippy and crisp one. Loads of lime and elderflower but there is some texture and a bit of spice there too. It is my new ‘go-to’ aperitif wine now. Yum. It doesn’t last long at our place.

I think I preferred the Le Confidentiel chardonnay better. But, I am biased. I will also take a chardonnay over a sauvignon blanc any day!

We have enjoyed this wine when we have seen it in our travels to France, and after getting a box delivered, we are certainly glad we did. This is a really good Sauvignon Blanc. I find many from other countries that you buy are too big and not enjoyable. We are very happy to have found it available here in the UK.
