This wine uses hand-picked Sauvignon grapes from a cool, riverside plot. After early morning harvest, the grapes are slowly macerated at low temperatures and then aged for six months in stainless steel tanks and old barrels. The fresh aroma of lemon and green apple is layered with white flowers and herbs, and the firm acidity and rounded mouthfeel create an exquisite balance. This is a sophisticated and distinctive white wine.

About the Winery

Clos Constantin

In 2009, Pierre Halley, originally from Argelliers, took over the vineyards of his uncle, a cooperator. There, he started to vinify his own wine but could not do so at home. So, in 2015, he joined forces with his friend Samuel Durand, former sommelier at Lavinia. In 2017, the two of them created Clos Constantin and its winery. In fact, the name of the estate is a tribute to Pierre's great-grandfather, whose first name it was.
