2021 Le Petit Buisson

100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Tue Bœuf has been purchasing and harvesting this fruit for 15 years from a nearby Cher Valley site called Petit Buisson, a single 1.4-hectare parcel of 35-year-old vines on flinty clay and limestone soils, organically farmed and hand-harvested. Fermented with natural yeasts and aged on its lees with stirring in used Burgundy barrels for 6 months; bottled unfiltered and with a minute amount of sulphur. It is beautifully fresh, tight and elegant with lovely texture and fragrance. Wonderfully refreshing, contemplative, satisfying and incredibly drinkable - if only more Sauvignon was this good..
