Sauska Blanc de Blancs

Tokaj

Sauska Blanc de Blancs has been a real passion project for us this year, a new sparkling wine which we fine-tuned and finalized in collaboration with our longtime partner Bortársaság. Blanc de Blancs is a prominent and elegant category, adding one to our line was a treasured dream of the Sauska team along with our longtime consultant, the great Régis Camus.

"At first sip, citruses, green apple, energetic, intense and mineral sip. New colors in the Sauska range. By choosing between the dosage tests, our goal was to get to the point where the image of the blanc de blanc is sharpened to a pinpoint, while the hold and roundness of the sip is preserved. In the end, we stop at 3 g/l (extra brut category), where the overall effect is dry, and every detail seems to have fallen into place." Bortársaság
