Description

Louis Marie Teisserenc can best be called a visionary. As early as 1980, he was the first to plant Sauvignon grapes in the Languedoc. There was a whole process before that.

His good friend and winemaker at the famous Domaine de Ladoucette in Pouilly-Fumé, Joël André, recommended him specific clones that are also used in the Loire region. Now, after almost 40 years, François Teisserenc, Louis Marie's son, produces overwhelming quality from the now old vines.

A limited portion of the grapes harvested at night ferment in small oak barrels (15%) and the remainder is soaked in the skins for 48 hours and then fermented in large stainless steel tanks.



It produces an excellent, slightly oak-aged, dry white wine, which bears the name F Blanc. This is not only a tribute to the important role of the Pouilly-Fumé winemaker in the late 1970s, but also a nod to the top cuvées from the famous Loire region that are made in a similar way. Naturally, this Languedoc-Sauvignon has more roundness due to the warmer weather in the south, but that is actually an advantage for many lovers of this grape.
