Aubert & Mathieu Kate Sauvignon Blanc

Winemaker Aubert & Mathieu on the winery

“We are Aubert & Mathieu, two friends from Carcassonne in southern France. After pursuing different careers, we came together through our shared passion for wine and our ambition to present the Languedoc in a fresh, contemporary way. We want to make wines that are approachable and expressive without losing sight of their origins. That is why we combine modern winemaking techniques with careful vineyard management and an organic approach. With our colourful The Crew range, we give this philosophy a playful twist: wines with individual personalities, made to be enjoyed together. Quality, freshness and drinkability are at the heart of everything we do.”

And on Languedoc, France

“Our Kate is an organic Sauvignon Blanc from the Pays d’Oc in the Languedoc. The grapes grow on fertile clay-limestone soils under the Mediterranean sun, while cooling winds help preserve their freshness. We harvest at night, when temperatures are lower, to retain the grapes’ aromatic intensity. After destemming, the must ferments in temperature-controlled tanks. We avoid oak ageing to let the fruit and lively acidity of Sauvignon Blanc shine through. On the nose, we find citrus, white flowers, lemongrass and melon, complemented by subtle herbal notes. The palate is juicy and refreshing, with exotic fruit and a crisp, clean finish.”
