Château Pique-Sègue

The Bergerac wine region lies in southwestern France, just 70 kilometres from Bordeaux. The vineyards are planted on gentle rolling hills on both sides of the Dordogne River. Château Pique-Sègue has been making wine in the Côtes de Bergerac and Montravel crus for over 700 years. Throughout the centuries, the estate has maintained its reputation for lively whites and elegant red wines.

This crisp, vigorous sparkling wine is crafted with Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Light in body and subtly creamy, it features intense ripe stone and tropical fruit aromas, with underlying green herbal nuances. A departure from more common Chardonnaybased “Blanc de Blancs” bubblies, this blend has great varietal typicity and lingering freshness. 2023-2026– jb

Sauvignon Gris

A crisp, dry white wine made from two varieties of Sauvignon. While not as aromatic, Sauvignon Gris brings a slightly richer, fleshier texture to round out blends. A short period of skin contact, followed by fermenting and aging in neutral vessels gives this fruity, unoaked white lots of easy-drinking appeal.

This youthful Merlotdominant blend is brimming with just-ripe notes of cassis and dark plum, underscored by subtle meaty and earthy flavours. A subtle microoxygenation is carried out after fermentation to tame robust tannins and integrate lifted acidity. Still quite grippy on the finish. Will benefit from another year in bottle to reveal its full potential.

Côtes de Montravel white is made from late-harvested grapes infected with a beneficial fungus called Botrytis cinerea (a.k.a. noble rot). This shrivels the berries, concentrating acids and sugars. The resulting wine, made from the Sauvignon Gris variety, is lusciously sweet, with crisp acidity, and intense citrus, tropical, and herbal flavours. 2023-2025– jb
