Château SaincritÉphémère AOC Bordeaux blanc
AOC BORDEAUX WHITE
100% GRAY SAUVIGNON
L'EPHEMERE bears the name of the cuvée that we think we can do only once, for the experience of learning to make white, a few ares of white grape variety in the middle of twenty hectares of red, and then ... we appreciate and plant Sauvignon Gris ... which gives a dry but round white wine with notes of white fruits.
Tasting:
Very pale golden hue, nose on exotic fruits, pineapple, freshness in the mouth with notes of white flowers, dried lack and a tangy finish on tangerine

CASTLE SAINCRIT ORIGINS
Between 1860 and 1880, the invasion of vine phylloxera destroyed almost all of the French vineyards.
Along the Gironde estuary, the farmers turned to the cultivation of wheat, many mills were erected on the surrounding hillsides. At the end of the 19th century, Vincent SAINCRIT, a miller by profession, decided to replant vines on the hillside of MONTALON. Thus was born the CHATEAU SAINCRIT, of this man and his descendants who passed on the vineyard for five generations.
GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION
