The uniqueness of the Sauternes vineyard
The Sauternes vineyard is considered one of the most prestigious in the world for the production of natural sweet wines.
The specificity of the Sauternes vineyards lies in their climate and soil. The region is subject to particular weather conditions, notably alternating heat and morning fog, which are conducive to noble rot in grapes. Noble rot, also known as “noble rot”, is a phenomenon that occurs when grapes are exposed to hot, humid conditions, leading to a reduction in water content and an increase in sugar concentration. Grapes that have undergone this noble rot are then hand-picked and used to produce high-quality natural sweet wines.
The soil in the Sauternes vineyards is also very specific, made up of gravel and sand, with the presence of limestone and flint. It drains well, allowing good aeration of the roots. This contributes to the quality of the grapes produced.
The production of Sauternes vins doux naturels is a complex and meticulous process requiring great expertise. The winemakers use traditional methods of cultivation and production to produce wines of the highest quality. Sauternes wines are aged in oak barrels to give them exceptional structure, aromatic complexity and finesse.
