2023 Clos du-Tue-Boeuf Sauvignon Qvevri

This Sauvignon Blanc from Clos du Tue-Boeuf represents a unique fusion of French winemaking and Georgian traditions. The estate, with centuries of history and wines that once graced royal tables in the Middle Ages, is now run by the Puzelat brothers who have embraced organic practices since 1996. The wine ferments and ages in qvevri, traditional Georgian terracotta vessels, undergoing four weeks of skin contact followed by eight months of aging with indigenous yeasts and lees. This orange wine is bottled unfiltered with minimal sulfur, resulting in an expressive and funky expression of Touraine Sauvignon Blanc.
