Description of the product
The Sauternes appellation, named after the municipality of the same name, with around 1,700 hectares of vineyards, forms an island in the large Graves area south of Bordeaux. It consists of the five municipalities of Bommes, Fargues-de-Langon, Preignac and Sauternes, as well as Barsac. For centuries, sweet white wines have been produced here from botrytized grapes. The highly calcareous soil offers excellent conditions for white wines. The later US President Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), who was ambassador in Paris from 1785 to 1789 and visited many French wine-growing regions during this time, described Sauternes as the best white wine in the country after Champagne and Hermitage. The noble sweet wine is based on a method developed in the 18th century in the Rhineland (Trockenbeerenauslese) and Hungary (Tokaji) of individually hand-picking grapes infected with gray mold rot (botrytis cinerea). The vines grown consist of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc.
