Chateau Lamouroux - White Graves

Tasting Notes

Vineyard management: Regular ploughing. Manual thinning out of the leaves. Green harvest on Semillon. Manual picking in small baskets.

Vinification:
Sorting of the harvest at the cellar. Total destemming.Pellicular maceration on the Sauvignons before pneumatic pressing.Cold "debourbage"stay. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats.
Automatic temperature control.

Ageing: 4 months with lees stirring in stainless vats.

Colour: Very pale yellow with green reflects, bright.

Nose:
highly refined , at same time floral and fruity, delightful flavours of citrus and lemon , typical of ripe Sauvignon, and light notes of grapefruit and white fruits. A lot of refinement, freshness and elegance.Very pure and sincere.

Mouth:
great balance between volume and acidity, another superb vintage and very attractive and "gourmand" wine.

Excellent persistency, very greedy finale with flowers and fruit. Semillon, equally quite aromatic within the replanted vines, confers in addition a voluptuous texture. A "second wine" of high class and sure gastronomic value.
