ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2023 vintage is noted for its bright, textured profile and fresh finish.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Reuilly Les Pierres Plates is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for five months on its fine lees, also in stainless steel, to develop texture and complexity. This winemaking approach deliberately avoids any oak influence, aiming to showcase the purity of the grape and the minerality derived from the vineyard's Kimmeridgian limestone soil. The Domaine de Reuilly is committed to organic and biodynamic farming principles.
