Description

Alba Mauvinon blanc produced in Bordeaux refers to the freshness of the Aube. Harvested at first light, the cold berries retain all the aromas acquired during ripening throughout the winemaking process.

Wine in conversion to organic farming, vinified and aged without sulfites by the Tribaudeau family. Alba Mauvinon 2020 is produced with minimal impact on the natural ecosystem. Grapes grown without the use of synthetic pesticides are harvested and sorted by hand, and infused in small containers.

Tasting :

• Nose : Racé with lemon zest, melon and honey toast.

Mouth: Rich, well-balanced, with an acidic structure, tension, fatness and straightforwardness. Full-bodied and juicy.

Grape varieties: 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Vinified in small containers reflecting the parcels and aged for 3 months in new barrels. Thanks to batonnage, the wine’s fine lees are put back into suspension.

Wine and food pairing : This white wine goes perfectly with langoustines, scallops, or pollack with a lemon butter sauce. You can also try it with blanquette de veau.


Our expertise:

Alba Mauvinon 2020 is an organic Saint-Émilion sulfur-free wine. We use no synthetic pesticides in our vineyards. The grapes were harvested by hand. Then, once harvested, we isolated each plot in vats, taking into account its unique specificities such as grape variety, soil, exposure to the sun and age of the vines. This meticulous care enables us to preserve the identity of each terroir, fully expressing the diversity and richness of the estate.

Commitment to the environment :

What’s more, we harvest, vinify and age Château Mauvinon without sulfur. This is because we are a family of winegrowers who want to make a difference. Our commitment isn’t just to create organic Saint-Émilion Grand Cru wine without sulfur. It’s also, and above all, to do no harm to the natural ecosystem. We are exacting in our choice of cultivation methods (natural grassing and sowing, animal traction, biodynamics). Our planet deserves our commitment.

Local production and quality:

Wooden cases, labels, bottles, capsules and all Château Mauvinon products are “made in France”. Château Mauvinon also offers a typical Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc (La familia blanc).
