Bergecrac Blanc 2020

Bergecrac blanc 2020,

Château Barouillet

30% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sauvignon Gris, 20% Sémillon, 20% Chenin on clay-limestone soils, a four-quarter of white grape varieties that thrive in the region. The harvest is directly pressed before cold settling. Fermentation using indigenous yeasts preserves the typicity and originality of the terroirs; there is no malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged in vats on fine lees for a short period, protected from air. Neither fined nor filtered, it is lively and will evolve in the bottle. Its rather atypical nose is not marked by Sauvignon aromas but offers buttery, slightly grilled, and toasted notes, indicative of its aging on lees. Secondary notes include floral and fruity notes: peach and citrus. On the palate, grapefruit and a retro-olfaction of musky flowers such as honeysuckle or wisteria. Freshness, richness and aromas are shared throughout. Serve at 9-11°C.
