Situated on the northern sun-kissed hills of Puichéric and Puisserguier, Le Versant Sauvignon grapevines offer rich and mineral wines. Its lustrous pale-yellow colour with green hues, its intense nose of fresh (lime, kiwi, boxwood) and mature (pear, passion fruit) aromas give way to a crisp palate that lingers with notes of citrus and blackcurrant buds.
The Sauvignon Blanc variety is widely grown in the Loire region and is generally used for the production of dry white wines. This variety has a tendency to be highly productive although it is often sensitive to disease. Renowned for producing wines that are at once balanced, fine and lively, it develops mostly fresh aromas (boxwood, blackcurrant buds) and fruity aromas (citrus and exotic fruits).
Plots with the best balance between soil, plant and microclimate are selected: North-facing hills for this wine. Control of yields via optimal management of nutrition and de-budding. The Versant Sauvignon vines are situated on sunny north-facing slopes near Puichéric (Languedoc-Roussillon). The soil is made up of clay-limestone marl which retains humidity so the plant develops well.
