Sauternes is a sweet white wine produced in the Sauternes wine region, located in southwestern France, near Bordeaux. This wine is famous for its sweetness and aromatic complexity.
Sauternes is mainly made from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle grapes, which are harvested late, often affected by noble rot, also known as botrytis cinerea. This noble rot causes a natural concentration of sugars in the grapes, which gives the wine its sweet and aromatic character.
The production process of Sauternes is quite delicate and demanding. Harvesting is often carried out selectively, harvesting only the grapes most affected by noble rot. This means that the harvest can take several weeks or even months to harvest the grapes at full ripeness.
