Alice & Olivier have made a new cuvée called Nuova Descriptio (or “new description”), which is a Vin de France. Olivier, who designed the label, saw the words on a Vermeer painting and it seems very appropriate as it’s a new way of working with the grapes from an existing vineyard. The wine is a blend of all the Sauvignon Blanc from Saint-Bris (and also the small amount of Sauvignon Gris in the same vineyard), part of which was aged in amphora and part in tank, a tank of Aligoté macerated for 12 days, and 3 barrels of Chardonnay from Chitry.
