The cuvée Pierre Blanche of Chateau Fleur Haut Gaussens is the first 100% Sauvignon Blanc cuvée of the estate. Its name refers to the limestone quarry on which we planted the vines. It’s a very expressive and mineral wine, thanks to a great limestone soil and fresh climate.
The nose fresh and elegant reveals a hint of white flowers and citrus. The mouth is leavely. This attack is frank with a great minerality and fruit. Ageing potential 5 years.
