Winery history

The production of sweet wines in the Sauternes area has been documented for centuries: as early as the 17th century grapes affected by noble rot were observed and the most concentrated bunches were selected. The appellation established itself over time and was incorporated into the system of Bordeaux’s great wines; in the 1855 classification Château d'Yquem received a unique distinction among the crus of Sauternes. In recent decades the appellation has maintained its identity by focusing on selective harvesting techniques and on wines capable of significant development in bottle.

Production philosophy

Production is based on observing the local microclimate and on an extremely selective harvest: multiple passes are made through the vineyard to pick only berries properly affected by noble rot. The approach focuses on respect for the terroir and on showcasing the aromatic characteristics derived from noble rot and from the blend of local white varieties.

Terroir and vineyards

The production area is located in the southern part of the Graves district in the Gironde and mainly includes the communes of Sauternes, Bommes, Fargues, Preignac and Barsac. The climate is influenced by the confluence of the Ciron and Garonne rivers, which favors the formation of autumn mists that promote the development of Botrytis cinerea.
