With its Sauvignon expression so typical of Pessac-Leognan, BROWN White is a wine for laying down, but can also be enjoyed immediately thanks to its freshness and vivacity.

• Grape varieties : 65% sauvignon, 35% semillon, on a gravel terroir with clay subsoil.
• Handing-picking using small trays, grape selection on the vine.
• Matured in French oak barrels (50% new) for 8 months, stirring on the fine lees.
• Production : 20 000 bottles.
• Ageing potential : 4-6 years.
• Perfect food-wine pairing : Carpaccio of scallops, or Supreme of John Dory.
