The first vintage for a white Fleur Morange was 2020. As the Julien family is determined to do different things, Mathilde and Jean-François decided to make an exceptional white wine.

From a vineyard located in the southeast of Saint-Émilion, on parcels of limestone clay, and flint, where two grape varieties are grown, Sauvignon Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes were picked up and laid in crates prior to crushing into stainless steel vats for cold maceration, after which the juice was pressed off to be vinified at a low temperature. When the alcoholic fermentation ended, the wine was moved to 500-liter French oak barrels from various forests and left on the lees for 12 months.

The result is a fascinating white with aromas of citrus, grapefruit, lychee, acacia flowers, and a touch of fresh butter on lightly toasted bread. The mouthfeel is vibrant with acidity while remaining full and very pleasant, with a zippy, long finish.
