Tasting note
Bright golden yellow with green reflections. Opulent scent of dried apricots, pickled figs and freshly baked apple pie crust on a full, syrupy palate with good balance, mirabelle compote and nougat ginger sticks in the long finale.
Vinification
For centuries, the Sauternes region has mainly produced sweet white wines from botrytized grapes. They are the result of a specific mesoclimate. The Sauternes communities are close to the Garonne and Ciron rivers. In autumn, when the cold Ciron river water flows into the warmer Garonne, evening fog forms, which envelop the vineyards until late morning the next day. The humid air promotes the development of the mold Botrytis cinerea (noble rot). It causes the grapes to shrink and rot. However, the sun, when it shines during the day, dries the grapes and promotes the shrinking process.
