Description
Rotem and Mounir Saouma own the iconic micro negociant Lucien Le Moine in Beaune and have been one of the most sought after producers of 1er and Grand Cru Burgundy for some years now.
With a passion to own their own vineyards they made the leap and purchased some superb terrior in Chateauneuf-du Pape to start Clos Saouma.
Magis is Latin for ‘more, much more’.
Saouma chose this name because they ask more, much more, from their white Châteauneuf-du-Pape, especially two years in barrels.
Magis is produced from 75% Grenache Blanc, 10% Clairette, 10% Roussane, and 5% Bourboulenc.
Fermentation is barrels from the Jupilles forest (pays de Loire) was followed by two years ageing in the same barrels, on the lees, with just occasional stirring.
