2016 Chateau Saint Vincent Sauternes, Bordeaux, France - 375mL

ABOUT THIS WINE

Located just 25 miles southeast of Bordeaux on the left bank of the Garonne River, Sauternes is a subdivision of the Graves, renown for its warm Terroir of river gravel. The Cirons, tiny tributary of the Garonne is responsible for the birth of the “noble rot” that produces the liquid gold. Indeed, the temperature difference between these two rivers allow the development of this magical “mist” that cover the vines and disappear during the day allowing enough humidity to feed the fungus. Developing outside the berries this rot suck the water out the grapes and leave a juice with high concentration of sugar while preserving the acidity and the genuine flavors of the fruit.
