La Levee 2023

La Levée 2023 is a distinctive Sauvignon Blanc by Alexandre Bain, one of the Loire Valley's most respected natural winemakers. Sourced from the La Levée vineyard, this wine showcases Bain's biodynamic approach and philosophy of harvesting at full ripeness to express the vineyard rather than the grape variety. Origin: Loire Valley, France Grapes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc Style: Rich, textured white wine Year: 2023 Alcohol: 14% Vinified with indigenous yeasts and aged in used French oak barrels, La Levée is bottled without fining, filtration or added sulphur. The result is a wine of remarkable depth, balancing generous fruit with precision, freshness and mineral tension. The nose reveals ripe citrus, quince, white peach and wild herbs, layered with floral notes and subtle hints of honey and wet stone. The palate is broad and textured yet vibrant, with saline minerality, lively acidity and a long, complex finish. A compelling expression of Loire Sauvignon Blanc that pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled fish, poultry, creamy cheeses or dishes featuring fresh herbs.
