ZOU Sauvignon blanc IGP Côtes de Gascogne
TERROIR
Like an amphitheater facing the Mediterranean, the Languedoc-Roussillon region stretches along 200 km of coastline, between the sea and the mountains. Its terroir is shaped by clay-limestone soils, sandstone, and schist, which benefit from a sunny climate ideal for many grape varieties to flourish, producing rich and authentic wines. World-renowned, Cabernet Sauvignon reveals in Languedoc elegant wines with supple tannins.

WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Zou Premium Collection brings back Zou’s spirit of simplicity and pleasure, shaped with greater precision and care. Crafted from carefully selected parcels and refined winemaking choices, these wines offer added depth and elegance while remaining true to Zou’s easy-drinking, food-friendly philosophy.
WINEMAKING
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness at dawn to preserve aromatic balance and prevent oxidation. After destemming, a short skin maceration is carried out, followed by pneumatic pressing. The juices are then cold-settled for 2 to 4 weeks with regular stirring to enhance aromatic potential. This is followed by settling and low-temperature fermentation to preserve the finesse of the aromas. Ageing on fine lees brings roundness and complexity to the wine.
WINE AND FOOD PAIRING
Fresh and aromatic, this Sauvignon Blanc is ideal with sushi, white fish, seafood, and a variety of fresh cheeses. Serve between 8 and 10°C.
