Description

A fleshy, zesty Sauvignon Blanc. Ripe passionfruit, cantaloupe melon and white floral notes with a gauzy body and racy acidity.

Beautiful as an aperitif or served alongside seafood, salads, or any dishes with goat's cheese or Mediterrean vegetables.

Terroir: At an altitude of 350 to 450 m, these twenty year old plots are planted on clay-limestone slopes. Certified HVE3.

Harvest: The grapes are mechanically harvested before sunrise to preserve the freshness of the fruit. The harvest is done in small bins to guarantee the quality of the fruit. The yield on these plots is about 7000 to 8000 kg/ha (55-60hl/ha).

Winemaking: Direct pressing with selection of the best quality juices. The clear juices are then vinified in vats at temperatures of 18-20°C and then stabilised by cold temperatures. Stainless steel maturation lasts only a few months to preserve all the freshness and the aromatic expression of the grape variety.

Les Hauts de Pepys

Jean Girard first planted vines in 1928, his son Eugène took over the property in the 1940s. Everything accelerated in the 80s, when André Girard took the reins of the farm. A new wind then blew on the lands of Malepère with the desire to readapt the grape varieties to the terroir. The old varieties gave way to ones more conducive to the alliance of the climate and the clay soils of the terroir had to offer.

Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon, situated in southern France, is renowned for its diverse and high-quality wines. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine, hot summers, and mild winters, ideal for viticulture. Languedoc-Roussillon produces a wide variety of wines, including robust reds from grape varieties like Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, as well as crisp, refreshing whites and rosés. The area is also known for its excellent sparkling wines, particularly Crémant de Limoux. The diverse terroir, ranging from coastal plains to mountainous areas, and a mix of traditional and innovative winemaking techniques result in wines with distinctive character and depth. Languedoc-Roussillon is a must-visit for wine enthusiasts seeking a rich and varied wine experience.
