Sauternes AOC L'îlot de Haut-Bergeron 2021 Château Haut-Bergeron

The Sauternes L'îlot de Haut-Bergeron of Château Haut-Bergeron comes from a special 4-hectare vineyard, purchased in 1990, located on an île du Ciron, the emblematic river of the Sauternes appellation. This unique position favors exposure to ideal climatic conditions for the development of pourriture noble, noble rot, fundamental for the production of this prestigious sweet wine.

The varietal composition sees a clear predominance of Sémillon, completed by Sauvignon Blanc grapes, both grown on clay-limestone soils with limestone and hard rock subsoil, which contribute to the aromatic complexity and structure of the wine. The manual harvest, carried out in 3-4 steps to select only the grapes attacked by Botrytis cinerea, precedes vinification in stainless steel tanks for 3-4 weeks at a controlled temperature and aging in wood for 10-12 months.

Golden yellow in colour, it opens on the nose with a fresh and floral bouquet, enriched with citrus notes. The taste profile is young and equally fresh, but also sweet and pleasant.

Ideal for accompanying desserts and blue cheeses. Or simply serve as an aperitif.
