La Belle Angele was a famous character of the early 20th century. Known for her beauty and joie de vivre, she was the muse of many French impressionist painters.
La Belle Angèle wines praise this figure of the «Belle Epoque» by embodying the same values that characterized the woman: charm, elegance, joie de vivre and fine taste.

SOIL
Our Sauvignon Blanc grows on limestone soils.
GRAPE VARIETY
Sauvignon Blanc is a relatively late grape variety. It is highly vigorous, what must be controlled by planting the vine in mildly to moderately fertile terroirs, using low-productivity rootstocks and through appropriate pruning.
Sauvignon is a grape variety that likes limestone of all types. Hard chalk, marls and looser marine sediments all suit it equally well.
Sauvignon’s qualities are expressed differently depending on the terroir; it is spicier and more floral when grown on gravelly terraces and more powerful and straightforward on deeper marl soils.
VINIFICATION
The grapes are harvested very early in the morning and directly pressed Cold settling of the ivice before fermentation at low temperature /14:16 C
AGEING
Our Sauvignon Blanc: aged on the lees in vats for about one month.
