This powerful white is aromatic and flavorful with notes of apricot, clementine, flowers, vanilla, cream and biscuit. This is ripe, roundish, full-bodied and finishes with orange peel. Enjoy this with fish, rich shellfish, chicken, pork or Asian food.
The village name of Sablet actually refers to "sable", which means "sand" in French. A further advantage is that the vines themselves, which are 30 – 50 years old, are reaching their prime. Vines are planted at 4,000 plants per hectare and close attention is paid to yields with an average of 40 hl/ha, well below the standard in the region. The grapes are hand-harvested, parcel by parcel, which lends each wine its own specific character, each one different from the next.
