Croix de Labrie Stella Solare
AOC Bordeaux White

White - 75cl
60% Semillon,
20% Sauvignon Gris,
20% Sauvignon Blanc

With a fruity and fresh nose, this wine offers a touch of elegance and raciness. Notes of vine peach, fleshy apple, and pink lychee blend with mandarin and kumquat, as well as hints of exotic fruits, quenette, and elderflower, all balanced by a subtle hint of rose. On the palate, this wine showcases a fruity and elegant profile with a defined and smooth richness, refreshing acidity, and a delicate yet airy character. Flavors of lychee, quenette, and vine peach are complemented by elderflower, peach blossom, citrus, and crushed apple. Subtle notes of almond and a hint of toast add depth, while a delicate minerality and a touch of iodine can be detected in the background. The finish is satisfyingly long.

Honeysuckle, white peach, green apples and pineapple create the attention-seeking nose. On the palate, the wine is rich, fresh and fruity with a lively pineapple note that lingers.
STELLA SOLARE is only 0.70ha on limestone and gravel terroir.
The vineyard is a full complantation of 60% Semillon, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sauvignon Gris, 60 years old, run organically.
Harvest is done in one day by hand with several sortings.
100% of the grapes are destemmed and pressed right away after harvest, with cold maceration to keep only the fine lees.
The juice is placed in only 6 barrels for alcoholic fermentation, with stirring of the lees. No malolactic fermentation.
3 new barrels and 3 one-year-old barrels: 50% oak and 50% acacia, French, from the Allier forest.
Aged 8 months in barrel and 14 months in bottle, so the wine is released after 2 years.

Grapes: 60% Semillon, 20% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Sauvignon Gris
