Cavesa le CAVE, le club des amateurs de vins exquis

VdP, Iconique Savagnin, Le Gd-Clos, J-M Novelle - 2022

Now matured without the aid of wood, this rare white savagnin ouillé (in the manner of a Valais pagan) presents a magnificent nose of citrus fruits, noble vegetal and chlorophyll, preceding a richly textured and relaxed palate, fresh, saline, ample, long, perfumed, velvety, with finely integrated acidity: gastronomic!

Viticulture

Le Grand Clos is a family estate of 7 ha located in the commune of Satigny. The vineyard on the hillside is grassed over and maintained with the utmost rigour. A lot of work is done in the vineyard, which produces little but gives healthy and concentrated fruit. The grapes are harvested when they are fully ripe in terms of alcohol, phenolics and aroma.

Oenology

Aged in stainless steel vats for a long time (up to 24 months). Malolactic fermentation is never carried out.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Saladine with smoked salmon - Arctic char in foil - Poultry mousse.
