Château Filhot, Sauternes

Producer: Anne-Laure Dufour Bonnard

Classification: AOP Barsac, Sauternes

Type of Wine: Full sweet white wine

Grape variety (varieties): sémillon 80%, sauvignon blanc 18%, muscadelle 2%

Closure: Cork

Country: France

Wine region: Bordeaux

Area: Graves & Sauternes

Winemaking: Under the right conditions, the ripe grapes here attract a mold that thrives well in the morning mist rising from the river. This mold, Botrytis Cinerea (pourriture noble), perforates the skin, causing the juice in the grape to become concentrated and very rich in sugar. The pourriture noble also gives the wine special flavor nuances and great refinement. The harvest takes place in 4 to 5 passes, each time only the affected grapes are cut out of the bunch. After fermentation, the wine matures, depending on the vintage, for another 10 to 15 months in new oak barriques, wooden barrels of 225 liters.

Area information: Sauternes is the name of a small wine region of nearly 2,000 hectares on the left bank of the Garonne River. It is a relatively flat area, located about 40 km from the city of Bordeaux. The area includes 5 villages, namely Sauternes, Fargues, Bommes, Preignac, and Barsac. The soil of Sauternes (which is higher and more hilly) contains a lot of gravel, and in Barsac (which may use its own designation of origin for its 850 ha of vineyard) there is often much more limestone. Here, the finest sweet wines of France are made. A small river, the Ciron, runs through the area and is important for the formation of botrytis. This special mold develops in the warm, humid autumn and, via the morning mist, covers the ripe grapes. Due to the heat of the day, the molds grow quickly and perforate the skin, allowing some of the juice to escape, leaving behind a high-quality concentrate of sugars and aroma and flavor substances. This process is called 'pourriture noble', or 'noble rot'. Dry white wines from this famous region must be sold as Bordeaux Blanc.

Producer information: Château Simon has been owned by the Dufour family since 1814. Both white and red grapes are planted on the 38-hectare vineyard. About 17 hectares are used for producing Sauternes. The remaining 21 ha of vineyards are used for the production of white and red AOP Graves and white and red AOP Bordeaux wines. The soil here contains a lot of limestone and clay with occasional concentrations of gravel. The average age of the vines at Château Simon is 30 years, with 6,000 vines per hectare. Since 1983, efforts have been made to reduce the use of pesticides and insecticides. Now, 3 generations of the Dufour family work in the business, and there is a lot of knowledge in viticulture management and vinification. Anne-Laure and Pauline are the youngest generation at Château Simon, ensuring the consistently high quality at a very reasonable price.

Serving suggestions: With rillettes, foie gras or duck liver, stews of white poultry and mushrooms, desserts of red fruit, peach, apricot, pear, crème brûlée, and classic soufflés.

Serving temperature 10 to 12ºC

Other information: During prolonged autumn rains, ‘noble’ rot can turn into a harmful variant, ‘grey’ rot. Then the harvest is lost, and in the worst case, no wine is made that year. Wines from AOP Barsac may also be marketed as AOP Sauternes. This is often done in exports because Sauternes is better known than Barsac.
