Made from the Cortese grape variety, grown in vineyards with a cool mesoclimate; these are generally north facing and up to about 350 metres above sea level. The wine gets its name from the town of Gavi, situated in the south-east of Piemonte, around which the vineyards are planted. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly on its fine lees. It shows white flower and green fruit aromas, with a touch of honey and minerality on the palate.
Yellow straw in colour with sparkles of brilliant green. The nose displays fresh, clean citrus aroma and a beautiful floral intensity. The palate is dry with crunchy green apple fruit and a refreshing acidity.
Located at the eastern edge of the Grand Crus hill, "Les Blanchots" derives its name from the stony soil that is composed of whitish limestone and light-coloured calcareous clay subsoil.
Our plot lies on a very steep slope in the coolest part of this Climat, which lends the wine its vivacity and finesse. The soil, which features scattered areas of bluish clay, and the primarily morning sunshine lend this Grand Cru its very unique typicity, which is expressed by predominant floral aromas and remarkable finesse.
Tasting
Exquisite scents of white flowers (lily, rose) dominate on the nose. The palate is full-bodied and generous, featuring remarkable harmony and a pronounced mineral finish that is complemented by a hint of iodine and smoke (flint, graphite).
This appellation from southern Burgundy is located in the Mâconnais region around the villages of Fuissé, Solutré, Pouilly, Vergisson and Chaintré. The vines are planted on hillsides - sometimes very steep. The varying exposures result in a harvest period that lasts more than two weeks.
This wine has a lively and aromatic nose with white fruit and spices with a subtle touch of oak and vanilla
