Excellence de Belliard Pessac Leognan White
Harvest is done manually by a selection of the best berries to optimize product quality.
Particular care is taken to the management of the vineyards. The plough by draft horses is used to oxygenate the soil and protect the vines in order to avoid the plant growth stress. Algae are placed on vine stocks as the iodine burns the grass and leads simultaneously organic substance to fertilize the soil.
This meticulous care given to the vine, allows Xavier and his team to produce a powerful and concentrated wine of elegance and rare complexity. The roundness of the Excellence range allows them to be tasted young and also with a strong aging potential.
