Sauternes – Récolte d'Or
A true icon of Bordeaux’s finest sweet wines, the Sauternes appellation captivates with its exceptional balance of richness, freshness, and complexity. Located south of Bordeaux, the vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate that promotes the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), bringing concentration, elegance, and aromatic depth to the wines.
