Laurent Lebled 2015 La Sauvignonne

Notes from Living Wines:
This Sauvignon Blanc has been produced from organically-grown grapes which macerate for some time (between 7 and 12 days) in large concrete tanks with a twist! The concrete tank has a raised chestnut wood floor through which any juice that comes out of the grapes passes to the floor of concrete below thus is not in contact with the skins. This reduces the effect of the long maceration, before being pressed and then fermented naturally so that the wine retains the true flavour of the Sauvignon Blanc grape rather than the “tropical” flavours introduced via commercial yeasts.
