Semillon is the grape variety par excellence used to make the great white wines of Bordeaux, both dry and sweet. A grape variety that is especially prone to noble rot, hence its significance in the Sauternes district, a small enclave in Graves devoted to the production of sweet white wine and located about 40 km southeast of Bordeaux.

Production:

Produced primarily from the Semillon grape with a small amount of Sauvignon and Muscadelle added. Hand harvested and selected from the family estate's 7 acres of chalk, clay and gravel soils. The grapes have undergone a different meticulous selection process to obtain the grapes at the optimum point of noble rot.

Tasting Notes: Light, clean, palate, fruity, filled with elegant candied fruit with some tangy lemon, beautifully floral nuance and a clean, fresh finish.

Note: Excellent ageing potential. Ideal chilled with desserts or as an aperitif.
