An irreplaceable terroir

The wines of Sauternes, renowned worldwide, come from a unique wine region located in the south of Bordeaux.

This sweet and complex wine is primarily made from the grape varieties Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle, cultivated on exceptional terroir.

Iconic estates such as Château d'Yquem, Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey, Château Suduiraut, and Château Guiraud bear witness to a rich viticultural history dating back to the Middle Ages, when monks in the region began perfecting the art of winemaking.

The specific climatic conditions, with the influence of morning mists, favor the formation of noble rot, Botrytis cinerea, which gives Sauternes wines their unmatched flavor.

Thus, each sip tells the story of a terroir where tradition and excellence meet.
