Elixir du Grand Enclos - Graves White
L'Elixir du Grand Enclos Graves blanc is worthy of a Grand Cru Classé in the Graves appellation.
Deep, intense yellow in color, white flower notes predominate in youth, giving way with age to exotic, bread crust, wax and honey aromas. With great structure and a strong mineral side, this powerful wine will age for many years like a Grand Vin de Bourgogne.
BLENDING:
Semillon, a complex, dense grape variety, shows all its qualities here. It accounts for at least 70% of the blend to guarantee the desired complexity, harmony and longevity.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING:
Cold pellicular maceration for Sauvignon and Sauvignon Gris only, always fermented and aged in stainless-steel vats to preserve its fragrance and finesse.
The Semillon is fermented 100% in new barrels, followed by ageing on lees over a period of 10 to 13 months.
Cuisine:
Ideal for the entire meal, from fresh or cooked seafood to spicy fish and white meats, and finally to mature sheep's or goat's cheeses, with a predilection for dishes made from top-quality raw materials.
