1830: the year the first vines were planted at Périnade. Nearly two centuries later, the Sauvignon 1830 cuvée perpetuates that founding act, in a vibrant and aromatic white wine.
A Grape Variety, A Tribute
Sauvignon blanc is not the first grape variety one associates with the Languedoc. That is precisely what makes Sauvignon 1830 so compelling: an aromatic variety, lively by nature, which on the stony soils of Pézens develops unexpected complexity — zesty citrus, elegant herbal notes, and a flint-like minerality reminiscent of great Sancerres.
The harvest is always early. Picked in the coolness of dawn, the grapes arrive in the cellar still cold, and low-temperature stainless steel fermentation preserves the full aromatic potential. It is speed and precision that make Sauvignon 1830 — not excess.
Drinking History
The name '1830' is not a marketing device. It commits the estate to a promise of continuity: these vines will still be here in a hundred years, this expertise will be handed down again. For the seventh generation, making Sauvignon 1830 is an act of memory as much as an act of creation.
At the table, it reveals its full dimension alongside raw vegetables, fresh goat's cheese or oysters. Its liveliness also makes it an ideal aperitif, capable of awakening the palate without overwhelming it.
