Domaine de l’Alliance Vin de pays de l’Atlantique Blanc Sec Definition 2022 750 ML

Domaine de l’Alliance is located in the southeast of the Sauternes appellation, between Langon and Fargues in the Bordeaux wine region. It was created in 2005 when Daniel and Valerie Alibrand bought vines for a creation from scratch, without taking over any pre-existing estate. Daniel Alibrand was a fisherman in Vendee. They currently operate 8 hectares which cover a set of gravel terroirs where we will find a clayey presence and even a part rich in iron and complex to work. The grape variety is 80% Semillon, 18% Sauvignon Blanc with a little Sauvignon Gris and 2% Muscadelle, for vines that are over forty years old on average. One plot is even of unknown age, no one having been able to estimate it during the purchase. The estate is certified in organic farming , a process which was initiated very quickly after the purchase.nnDefinition is a blend of equal parts Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon . The grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic press and fermentation begins spontaneously with native yeasts. Fermentation takes place in barrels of three wines followed by aging for 12 months on lees in 350 liter Bordeaux barrels.
