Description

In the heart of Touraine, in the village of Mesland, lays a wine estate unlike any other. Under family ownership for many years, the estate was completely redesigned and given a new name by Arnaud and Laurent Saget from the 2010 vintage. Contemporary and forward-looking, the Domaine des Grandes Espérances is currently in organic conversion. Although work on the estate is inspired by reason, pleasure is very much at its heart. The wines are generous, festive, and full of charm and promise. The aptly named Domaine des Grandes Espérances is certainly one of great expectations.

The La Java Sauvignon Blanc goes through skin maceration for 12 hours, to extract the aromatic precursors, followed by pressing and then cold fermentation at around 15°C. The wine is matured on fine lees (dead yeast) and stirred regularly, lending it a more unctuous tone. Drink young and enjoy.

Tasting Profile

Nose
Pale gold colour with green highlights. The wine explodes on the nose with very typical Loire Sauvignon Blanc aromas: exotic fruit intermingled with subtle blackcurrant leaf aromas.
Palate
With good length on the palate, the La Java from Grandes Espérances is delicious and refreshing with notes of grapefruit peel blended with pineapple.
