Estate

Chateau Virevalois was bought in 1937 by Hubert Ballan, grandfather of Thierry Ballan who today runs the winery. The 160 acre property is located in the Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux between the two rivers Garonne and Dordogne, a location that protects from bad weather. The protected location means that the grapes have maximum sun during the summer and achieve a perfect ripening. The soil is clay and limestone, which gives the wine a crisp minerality and a pronounced terroir note.

Thierry Ballan is the third generation at the vineyard and he was one of the first to take on the French sustainability certification Agriconfiance which means an absolute minimum of impact on soil and vines. Today, Thierry's son Quentin, the fourth generation, is also active on the property, which ensures that both the quality and sustainability philosophy lives on and is passed on.

Tasting notes

This delicious 100% Sauvignon Blanc has a beautiful bouquet with notes of citrus fruit, apples and pear. Very well balanced on the palate, this crisp wine offers freshness and fruitiness. Perfect to drink in its youth and very food friendly. Certified Sustainable.
