Château Haut-Bergeron - Sauternes - L'îlot de Haut-Bergeron 2018

Key words:  Gourmand / Exoticism / Freshness

The wine: "L'îlot de Haut-Bergeron" is the only Sauternes to be able to boast of coming from a unique location on an island in the Ciron river classified NATURA 2000 (protection of biodiversity). The vines on this 4-hectare plot today have an average age of 25 years and produce a sweet wine of superb value for money offering exotic aromas, overripe peach and apricot or even honey acacia. A beautiful fat and vanilla content also constitutes this cuvée maintaining a lovely freshness. An excellent Sauternes to be enjoyed in its relative youth (under 10 years) with blue-veined cheeses or as a dessert.
