Haut Charmes Sauternes AOC (375ml)

“Haut” (High) because this nectar has a high quality; “Charmes” (Charms) because it is difficult not to fall under the charm of this wines golden this Sauternes. The micro-climate of the Ciron valley has a major role in its elaboration, to confer a very special character to the wine. Indeed, thanks to the climate, the “botrytis cinerea” appears on the grapes and concentrates the sugar while the acidity decreases. The attention brought to the winemaking and the ageing is the reason of the existence of this exceptional wine.
