Discover the grape variety: Gouget
Simple, fruity reds with a pale colour, a light ruby robe, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity. Understated aromas of red fruits. Discrete rustic profile. Nearly gone from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value; it reflects pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity. A rare French black grape, once grown in the centre and south-west.

The wine region of Sauternes
Iconic Bordeaux AOC for noble sweet wines, left bank of the Garonne. Golden whites with signature notes of honey, candied apricot, exotic fruit, orange peel, saffron and a finish tightened by chiselled acidity, opulent yet nervy palate — a great age-worthy wine of emotion. Botrytised Semillon dominates (Ciron 'noble rot') concentrating sugars, Sauvignon Blanc adds vivacity, Muscadelle perfume. ~1,416 ha across 5 villages.
