Half-bottles of Sauternes: the elegance of a great sweet wine in a small format
Sauternes, the golden jewel of the Bordeaux vineyards
A true icon of the Bordeaux vineyards , Sauternes is an exceptional sweet wine , renowned throughout the world for its aromatic richness and its sweetness on the palate.
Originating from a unique terroir located south of the Graves region , this golden nectar is born from the encounter between Botrytis cinerea (the famous noble rot ) and the ancestral know-how of the winemakers.
Thanks to this natural alchemy, the overripe grapes concentrate sugars and aromas, giving the wine captivating notes of honey, candied apricot, quince and vanilla .
A unique and demanding expertise
Sauternes AOC is produced from noble grape varieties:
-
Sémillon , which brings structure and complexity,
-
Sauvignon Blanc , for its freshness and acidity,
-
Muscadelle , for a delicate floral touch.
The harvest is done grain by grain , by hand, in several successive passes to select only the grapes affected by noble rot .
This meticulous work explains the rarity and prestige of the great Sauternes , among which we find the famous Châteaux d'Yquem, Suduiraut or Guiraud .
