Tony Martin is the latest generation at Chateau les Pâques to take their highly rated wine growing to the next level. Really pleased to represent the vineyard of this award winning oak aged Bordeaux Blanc and as only 3000 bottles are produced each year, we recommend stocking up now.
How it's made
Very small vineyard that focusses on quality rather than volume. The Sauvignon grapes undergo a short maceration with the skin, and pressed at very low pressure. The wine is then fermented in new French oak barrels on fine lees for 4 months to give the wine both body and fruity aromas.
In the glass
The combination of freshness and richness alongside all the citrus and exotic fruit flavours you'd expect with hints of vanilla and oak. Perfect accompaniment to goats cheese, chicken, turkey, veal or game as well as vegetable dishes.
Tony Martin took over the family vineyard around 5 years ago. although still works with his parents in developing this small, sustainable HVE certified Bordeaux terroir that has been in their family since the 1970s. Only 3000 bottles per year are made of their award-winning Delice des Paques which is made using 100% Sauvignon which is aged in new French oak.
