Bellefontaine, Sauvignon Blanc

The ‘Pays d’Oc’, refers to the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France, known by the French as ‘Le Midi’. Geographically the Oc covers an incredibly broad swathe of vineyards from the Rhône delta in the middle of southern France, arcing all the way round to the Spanish border on her Mediterranean seaboard.

Our range of Bellefontaine wines have been sourced from the Languedoc for over 20 years and we have refined the styles over the years to make sure they follow international taste profiles and trends.

Every year the winemakers select only quality parcels of wine from different estates and producers, each contributing key components to the finished blend. The grapes for this 100% Sauvignon Blanc are sourced from Gascony where Sauvignon Blanc typically displays excellent varietal purity and from cooler sites in the Languedoc.

The Languedoc has a a warm mediterranean climate so by selecting cooler sites where their flavours can develop fully whilst retaining their deliciously zippy acidity and characterful flavours.
