SAUTERNES – CHÂTEAU VOIGNY
GRAPES:
Semillon 90%, Sauvignon 7% & Muscadelle 3%THE TERROIR:
The soil is predominantly clay and limestone with just the right proportion of sand to ensure optimal warmth for the development of the selected vine varieties and the ripening of the fruit.WINEMAKING:
The grapes are harvested in the traditional manner, exclusively by hand, in several pickings from September to November. After pressing, the fresh, sugar-rich juice is allowed to settle for 12 hours at low temperature. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place in temperature-controlled vats, which produces the best results in terms of aroma extraction. -
