WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Filhot Sauternes is a Grand Cru Classé produced by the Filhot family in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France. The vineyard is situated on a plateau with a unique microclimate that allows for the development of noble rot, which concentrates the sugars in the grapes and gives the wine its signature honeyed and apricot flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the botrytized grapes, followed by slow fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a luscious and complex dessert wine with a rich golden color and notes of candied fruit, honey, and spice. Château Filhot Sauternes is a true gem of the Bordeaux region, offering a unique and unforgettable tasting experience.
