Méthode Béton refers to our technique of fermentation and aging in concrete eggs. Due to extended contact on the lees, the concrete eggs impart a rich, creamy and somewhat hazelnut character to the wine. A sumptuous and richly textured wine, our 2019 Méthode Béton Sauvignon Blanc has lovely aromas of linden, honeysuckle, and lemon verbena with notes of gooseberry and kiwi to complement its bright fruit and floral elements.
