Raised on the gravelly soils where light caresses the vines and the Garonne brings a moderating influence, the Domaine du Salut 2024 - Blanc Sec - Graves AOC stands as a statement of clarity. A certified organic wine, it captures the freshness of a Bordeaux dry white in a precise, luminous expression made for gastronomy. Its pale yellow robe announces a straight, chiselled profile; the aromatic finesse evokes a bouquet of white flowers and the liveliness of fresh citrus. On the palate, balance prevails, supported by an attractive volume and a harmonious texture that envelops without weighing down. For the lover of refined wines seeking a clear, limpid white, and for the gastronome after a pairing with character alongside fish, this bottling combines immediate pleasure and natural elegance, respecting the terroir and a viticulture attentive to its environment.

Assemblage et vinification

This Graves dry white expresses a blend of traditional white varieties from the vineyard, crafted to highlight freshness, fruit purity and balance on the palate. The certification FR-BIO-01 attests to vineyard management respectful of soils and biodiversity, ensuring a clear and sincere identity. Vinified with care to preserve aromatic brightness and the upright profile, it favours the clarity of the fruit and the frankness of a zesty backbone. Nothing ostentatious, everything converges on the essential, like a clean stroke of ink on laid paper, bright and clear. The result is an eminently readable wine where each element is well articulated, offering a contemporary and refined interpretation of Graves white, ready to converse with fine seafood.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour : Pale yellow, bright and crystalline, immediately suggesting a lively freshness and a refined style.
• Nose : Fine and expressive, driven by white flowers and citrus. Notes of lemon peel and grapefruit zest mingle with a delicate floral touch, offering a graceful aromatic intensity without weight.
• Palate : The attack is lively then unfolds into a handsome volume, with ample, precise texture. The structure remains straight, the length refined, and the finish clean and persistent on citrus flavours and a very Bordeaux-like sense of purity.

Serving temperature and advice

Serve this wine well chilled in tulip glasses to enhance the floral delicacy and lemony brightness. A short period of airing is enough to reveal its tactile dimension and length. Enjoy it particularly in its youth, when its freshness and energy shine with clear brilliance, while retaining the elegance characteristic of great Graves dry whites.
