Presentation
Terroir
This 100% Sémillon is produced on a little-known plot, near Pont d’Aulan, located between Bommes and Sauternes. Pont d’Aulan is the famous bridge of the Ciron river, emblematic of the region and a veritable gateway to Sauternes. This plot was chosen for its limestone and deep gravel soil.
Winemaking
The pressing is slow and difficult owing to the very high sugar concentration, limiting run-off. To obtain the right balance between alcohol and non-fermented sugar, it is not rare for the oenologists to intervene to stop alcoholic fermentation.
Ageing
The wines are then put into French oak barrels for ageing 24 months.
