Chateau Filhot Sauternes 0.375L

Sauternes in a half bottle — ideal if you want to serve a Luscious wine with dessert or cheese without opening a whole bottle. Château Filhot delivers a classic representative of the appellation here: fruity-sweet, with the lively acidity typical of Sauternes in the background.

Château Filhot is one of the oldest estates in Sauternes and has been family-owned since the 18th century. The winery is located in the southern part of the appellation, not far from the town of Sauternes, a good 40 kilometers southeast of Bordeaux. The cuvée consists of 60% Sémillon, 36% Sauvignon Blanc, and 4% Muscadelle — a typical composition for Sauternes, where the Sémillon brings the texture and the Sauvignon Blanc provides freshness.

In the glass, the wine shows aromas of ripe apricot and white peach, complemented by almond and a hint of caramel. The sweetness does not feel heavy due to the integrated acidity — the finish is comparatively lively for a Sauternes.
