Mission St-Vincent - Bordeaux Blanc Moelleux

Presentation

Presentation
For centuries the Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux has been crossed by pilgrims on the Way of Saint James. Here they chanced on medieval fortified towns and 12th century missions such as those of Créon, Monségur, Sauveterre-de-Guyenne or Saint-Vincent de Pertignas, which has taken the name of the patron saint of winegrowers, Saint-Vincent. Discover the entire range of Bordeaux rosé, 100% Sauvignon white, red and moelleux (sweet white).
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

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.
