Domaine de l'Alliance Bordeaux Definition Blanc 2023
DOZEN: $1,015.20 or $84.60 each
The Definition cuvée was born out of necessity: in years when frost or climatic conditions prevent the formation of noble rot, Daniel Alibrand vinifies his grapes in dry white rather than chaptalizing to force a sweet wine. A rare and courageous decision in the Sauternes region. This cuvée of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, in AOC Bordeaux Blanc Sec, comes from the 8 hectares of the estate located in Fargues, in the heart of the Sauternes appellation, on gravelly-sandy and clay-gravelly soils, with areas rich in iron. Vines over 40 years old on average, grown organically. Blend of equal parts Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, pneumatic pressing, fermentation with indigenous yeasts in barrels of 3 wines, ageing for 12 months on total lees.
