Why do we like it?
Domaine Minet is renowned for crafting captivating amazing wines that stand out for their vibrant, fresh aromatics and distinct flavors. The ‘Vieilles Vignes’ cuvée is their top wine, the father and daughter Minet source their grapes from the estate's oldest vines, averaging 30 years in age. Sauvignon Blanc is more than a grape variety for the family; it's a tradition. What sets Domaine Minet apart is their distinctive soils, ancient vines, and unwavering commitment to exceptional winemaking. Employing organic practices and limiting grape yields, they concentrate the juice, ensuring a quality product. Harvesting occurs swiftly, exclusively in the early morning, preserving the grapes' cool temperature. In the hands of Domaine Minet, Sauvignon Blanc transforms into a masterpiece, reflecting a harmonious blend of tradition, terroir, and meticulous craftsmanship. The wine is characterized by liveliness, freshness, aromatic richness, and mouth-watering appeal. Plenty of grapefruit, lemon juice and green apple with a crisp with wonderful lightness of touch. There's steely, slaty complexity on the palate too.
