Hailing from the sun-drenched hillsides of the Pays d'Oc, Les Tannes en Occitanie Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant testament to the modern Languedoc revolution led by Jean-Claude Mas. The name 'Les Tannes' pays homage to the unique clay and limestone soils of the region, which retain vital moisture during the hot Mediterranean summers. To preserve the grape's signature crispness and delicate aromatics in this warm climate, the grapes are harvested during the cool of the night. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel and aged on its fine lees, this single-varietal wine beautifully marries the classic herbaceous, citrus-driven profile of Sauvignon Blanc with the generous, sun-kissed fruit character typical of Southern France.
