Chateau Filhot Sauternes 2009
The Chateau Filhot was founded in 1709, by Romain de Filhot and is now owned and managed by one of his descendants: count Henri de Vaucelles. The area of Sauternes is a small region located on left bank of the Garonne, 40 kilometers south-east of Bordeaux. The wines of Sauternes are gilded, sweet, but also fine and delicate. Their “roti” bouquet develops very well with aging, becoming rich and complex, with crystallized orange and hazelnut, along with honey notes. The ” roti” is the specific character given by the noble rot to the Sauternes wines, which results in crystallized flavors.
