About this winery
Bijou first began in Cabrières, a tiny and idyllic region in the Languedoc-Roussillon just 30km north from the Mediterranean. This charming little village is dominated by the Pic de Vissou, an extinct volcano that provides our vineyards with very unique soil types. They have since expanded production into Provence and elsewhere. The winery's focus has always been to make truly authentic wines that are delicious, elegant and reflect the local terroir on which the grapes are grown. Thanks to...

Product notes
Grapes sourced from selected vineyards in the foothills of the Black Mountain around the appellations of Saint Chinian, Faugères and Coteaux de Languedoc.
Production notes
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are picked in the early hours of the morning before being direct pressed and the skins are quickly separated from the juice in order to preserve a pale, straw coloured wine. They then undergo cool, long fermentation (13-16˚C for 3 weeks) with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. This practice enhances the aromatic characteristics. The wine is stabilised and filtered before filling the pouches.
Tasting notes
A dry and aromatic white wine produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Elegant notes of green apple, citrus and hints of jasmine come together beautifully in the glass. A crisp, refreshing and truly French Sauvignon Blanc. A perfect accompaniment to white meats, pasta and seafoods. Try with barbecued chicken with a mango and lime glaze.
