Winemaking notes
As a tribute to Joseph Gregoire, the first Lieubeau, who was left abandoned as an orphan in the porch of the hospital in Nantes in 1816, our emblem is a child wearing a hat, a symbol of family history and nature. Pressing in a pneumatic press with skin-contact maceration and selection of musts. Cold settling. Reductive winemaking method in inert tanks. Aged for three months.
Viticultural notes
100% Sauvignon Blanc grown on Granite. 20-year-old vines. Vineyard with grass cover. Trellising and deleafing of vines. Nocturnal harvest.
Tasting notes
This range of fresh, fruity and elegant varietals illustrates the beautiful diversity of the Loire Valley. This wine displays slightly floral citrus notes and a tropical fruit character.
Pairing notes
Great as an aperitif, with appetizers, salads and asparagus.
