The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A haven for outstanding value and drinking pleasure, Southwest France is a vibrant region in the midst of a revival. Domaine de Perreau is part of this exciting momentum, crafting charming, organically farmed wines full of character—at remarkably modest prices.
Wine A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, the 2024 Montravel Initiale G White opens beautifully with smoky notes, passion fruit, and citrus—fresh and expressive from the start. The palate is lively, dry, and light-bodied, making it an ideal white for easygoing aperitifs or grilled fish. The vibrant, leafy character of Sauvignon leads the flavor profile, complemented by fine citrus bitterness on the finish. Best enjoyed within the next two years.
Vinification Hand harvested. Maceration on the skins and fermentation at low temperature. Aged on the lees.
