WINERY

VINIFICATION AND AGING
Fermentation at low temperatures preserves the aromatic purity of the Sauvignon Gris variety. The wine is aged on fine lees for 2–3 months with regular bâtonnage, enhancing its creamy texture and complexity, and has an ageing potential of 2–3 years in bottle.
BOTTLING
Bottled at Château La Grâce Fonrazade winery. Produced in limited quantities, with a strong focus on preserving the authenticity of the terroir and the true expression of the Sauvignon Gris variety.
TASTE AND CHARACTER
White Peak offers an elegant yet distinctive expression of Sauvignon Gris. The bouquet reveals layers of white peach, pear, citrus zest and exotic fruit, complemented by delicate floral and mineral nuances. On the palate, the wine is fresh and harmonious, while lees ageing brings surprising depth, a creamy texture and added complexity. Vibrant acidity and a long mineral finish create a refined, gastronomic style that beautifully reflects the limestone terroir of Bordeaux's slopes.
SOMMELIER'S TIP
Food pairing recommendation: oysters, lobster, grilled seafood, ceviche, goat’s cheese, asparagus-based dishes, and Mediterranean cuisine.
