À La Fraîche
Sylvain Bock (Ardèche)
Sauvignon Blanc • 2022
The Sauvignon Blanc is from a vineyard a little south in the Gard planted on galets while the Chardonnay is from Sylvain’s own vines planted on limestone soils in Alba-la-Romaine. All the fruit was directly pressed and aged in fibreglass for 8 months before bottling. A bright, fruit-forward nose is followed by an elegantly poised palate, nicely balanced between roundness and minerality.
