Les Esprits Libres – IGP Pays d’Oc
Learn more
Grown on the sun-drenched terroirs of the Pays d’Oc, Sauvignon benefits from optimal exposure throughout the year. Planted in the region’s characteristic clay-limestone soil, this white grape variety expresses itself beautifully thanks to the Mediterranean climate and continental influences that shape its typicity.
The Pays d’Oc Sauvignon reveals freshly picked citrus, delicate herbal notes, and crystalline minerality, making it a regional essential.
Winemaking
Mechanical harvesting is carried out at optimal ripeness. Traditional low-temperature vinification preserves the maximum brightness of the varietal aromas. Work under a reductive atmosphere helps maintain freshness. Pneumatic pressing is followed by cold settling, allowing a gentle and delicate extraction of aromatic precursors. Controlled fermentation in stainless steel at a managed temperature enhances Sauvignon’s fruity and floral characteristics.
