history
In 1957, around forty winegrowers grouped together to confront the economic difficulties of the era, pooling far more than mere financial concerns. At the time, Robert, Marcel, Yvon, Geneviève and the others, hailing from the same terroir, hewn from the same rock and sharing the same time-honoured values, set up their cooperative at the top of the hill in Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg. “They chose to share their experience, their expertise and their dreams„
Vineyard
The combination an outstanding clay-limestone terroir, and winemaking methods adapted to Sauvignon’s sublime potential. This wine has striking aromas, with intense citrus, blackcurrant, and elegant herbaceous overtones.
Winemaking
Selected areas with intense fruit aromatic grape potential. Direct pressing. Strong racking of the must (50 NTU) at low temperature to living the expression of citrus taste. The light must is fermented at 61-65°F during the first third of the process and then stabilized at 56-60°F.
Tasting notes
Pale green yellow colour, this vibrant Sauvignon blanc offers an astonishing combination of freshness and roundness, with expressive aromas of grapefruit, white peach and blackcurrant leaf. This wine has an exciting palate with crunchy, juicy flavours and long crisp acidity on the finish.

This Sauvignon Blanc begins with inviting aromatics of grapefruit, gooseberries and dried herbs that are laced with an underlying mineral character. The palate is fresh, vibrant and bursting with racy acidity, while remaining beautifully balanced throughout the finish.
