Chateau Lestignac Michel Michel

Young couple Camille and Mathias Marquet manage Château Lestignac and its 70-year-old vines after inheriting the family farm in 2008. They pared down the vineyard to the best sites and introduced a combination of a diverse garden and livestock. Instead of machines, horses are used to work the estate. This helped them to develop a true polyculture, complementing their organic & biodynamic farming style. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts are always used along with only a touch of sulfites at bottling. Michel Michel is composed of a blend of 35% Sauvignon Blanc, 55% Sauvignon Gris, and 10% Muscadelle. It sees two weeks of skin contact before being aged in concrete tanks for six months. With flavors of citrus peel and a white tea note, this is a clean orange with a light to medium body and gentle tannins. Pair with a crab ravioli in a lemon butter sauce or with a creamier cheese such as Saint Angel.

This wine is produced by Chateau Lestignac in the Bergerac region of France. Bergerac is known for its unique climate and soil, which contribute to the distinct quality of Chateau Lestignac's wines.
