Haut-Poitou is a forgotten land on the wine map of France, with phylloxera having wreaked havoc there. Ampelidae, founded in 1995, cultivates nearly 170 hectares organically and produces high-end cuvées (Le S, PN 1328, Le K) on its best plots. With very little new oak and various containers (concrete eggs, amphorae, stainless steel...), these cuvées highlight the 'Pauillac of the Vienne' with an irresistible quality-to-price ratio. All the white wines of the estate are sealed with screw caps to preserve the freshness sought by the team. In some great vintages, the wines can age for 20 years or even longer.
This Sauvignon from Poitou does honor to both the grape variety and the winemaker. It features the typical markers of Sauvignon Blanc—herbaceous, zesty, with notes of thyme and peach, and a lovely mouthfeel thanks to vinification in barrels, stainless steel, and concrete. An enjoyable wine when young, it has also charmed many tasters after a few years in the cellar. The screw cap is a real advantage for preserving freshness.
