Presentation
Born from the Sémillon grape variety, the Bordeaux Moelleux reveals a bright, golden colour that will evolve over the years towards "golden" tones, like a sparkle.
Location
Bordeaux is the largest vineyard for appellation wines in the whole of France. Situated in the South West near the Atlantic, it is crossed by the rivers Garonne and Dordogne and enjoys a temperate maritime climate. The richness, the quality and the diversity of its wines derive from the particular character of the terroirs, the experience of the winegrowers and the art of blending. The sweet white Bordeaux Meolleux wines are characterised by their freshness, their expressive fruity notes reminiscent of candied fruit, fresh quince and peach, and a pleasant smoothness.
Winemaking
Grapes picked when over-ripe. Destemming and crushing of the grapes. Pressing of the grapes then alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature in the presence of yeasts selected according to the required profile, until the level of remaining sugar is around 35 g/l. Arrested fermentation. Ageing on fine lees.
