Petit Bourgeois

VIN DE PAYS

BACK TO EDENWINES LOIRE WINE PAGE

Grape variety is 100% Sauvignon blanc and the age of the vines : 10 to 40 years

Terroir : Chalky-clay

Vinification :

The grapes come from the slopes of the Loire Valley known as "The Garden of France". This wine ferments in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks then matures for 3 months on its fine lees.

Here is an excellent aperitif that is also outstanding with fish, seafood and certain white meats.

Enjoy Petit Bourgeois with a halibut steak in lemon butter or trout au blue

Tasting :

Very aromatic with pleasant flower and fruit fragrances recalling the flower of the vine and the fruit of the Sauvignon. On the palate it reveals a freshness and vivacity characteristic of grapes harvested at good maturity.

Petit Bourgeois is most expressive served at 10-12°c.

Note: 84/100 Wine Spectator August 2003
