Les Hauts de Lagarde Blanc-Sec

A mild climate (due to the Atlantic Ocean). Lots of sunshine, and regular rain, the hillside situation and the clay-limestone soil, gravels offer the best conditions for the growth of the vines and the grapes.

Vinified in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats.

Clayey-calcareous

The vineyard is held up by Guyot double (Bordeaux style) to obtain the best maturity and also to avoid phytosanitary disease. The vine is held up by wires.

This is a delicious, ripe wine that is packed with apricot, apple and pear fruits. It is tangy and freshly fruity. The bright, rich fruit continues right through this wine that is ready to drink now.

"Clean crisp flavors and feel the verticality even on the nose. Love the mouth watering aspect here, this is high acidity, but for me it is well matched by minerality and clean bracing citrus and honeydew. Lovely, with good structure".

Its color is reminiscent of the palest yellow diamond shimmering in the sun. The nose reveals fresh citrus peel and zest, crisp Bartlett pear, honeysuckle, and a chalky minerality found on the palate as well. The mouthfeel reveals a prominent acidity with soft edges, lemon chiffon, honeydew melon, and hints of passionfruit.

Seafood dishes, oysters, poached chicken and steamed vegetables with a dijon tarragon sauce, savory croissants, Crottin de Chavignol (Mild goat) cheese.
