Chateau Filhot 2eme Cru Sauternes
Description: Chateau Filhot has 60 hectares of vineyards, planted with 60 per cent Semillon, 36 per cent Sauvignon Blanc, and 4 per cent Muscadelle. Bordering on the forests of the Landes, and with the small Ciron river flowing through the property, Chateau Filhot has an ideal microclimate for developing 'botrytis cinerea' on the grapes. Only the best grapes are selected and yields are very low as a result, somewhere between 10 and 20 hectolitres per hectare depending on the vintage. Fermentation is in stainless steel vats and takes between two weeks and a month at temperatures of between 19 and 21 degrees centigrade. The wine is allowed to mature for about three years before bottling. (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £232.66

Chateau d'Yquem 1er Cru Superieur Classe Sauternes
Description: In 1993 Chateau d'Yquem celebrated 400 years of ownership by the same family. In 1593, the Sauvage family bought the estate, which came into the Lur Saluces patrimony when Francoise Josephine de Sauvage married Count Louis Amedee de Lur Saluces in 1785. In 1855 the estate was given the honorary title of premier Cru superieur, ranking it above all others. The present owner, Comte Alexandre de Lur Saluces, took over the management of the estate in 1968. Highly motivated to perfect this prestigious product while respecting tradition, he is determined to offer maximum quality, and makes no compromises with every wine he produces, leading one taster to describe the wine as distilled dew and honey with the fragrance of all the fresh wild flowers of the field greeting the dawn. The only grapes picked are those effected by botrytis, noble rot, and following fermentation, the wine is aged for several years in oak barrels. (12 x 37.5 cl)
