White Villa Baulieu • 2020

A very mineral nose with chalky accents, delicately marked by fennel. The palate opens fresh, lively and airy, driven by a mineral line and a light salinity. The wine stretches out over a chiselled texture; the oak ageing is perfectly integrated. This white finishes long and taut. Excellent ageing potential.

60% Rolle
40% Sauvignon

Clay-limestone-marl soils.
North/northeast-facing plots at 430 m altitude.

As soon as they arrive at the winery, the bunches selected directly from the vine are placed on a vibrating table, where they undergo a second, very rigorous sorting. They are then pressed whole. The stalks add a little more aromatic complexity, while facilitating the evacuation of the juice. The must is lightly settled, then vinified in 40 hl oak tuns.

The wine is aged for 10 months in these same foudres, to give it roundness while respecting the wine’s “tension”, one of its main characteristics.
