    Producer

    The Château Filhot vineyard stretches across clay-limestone soils, ideal for cultivating noble grape varieties. The vines, some several decades old, are carefully tended, promoting sustainable viticulture that respects the environment. The climate, characterized by mild, misty autumns, creates ideal conditions for the development of noble rot, essential to the production of Sauternes. This interplay between terroir and climate gives the wines a unique complexity and depth.

    Owner and history

    Currently, Château Filhot is managed by a passionate family dedicated to preserving and enhancing the estate's winemaking heritage. Their approach respects tradition while integrating modern techniques to guarantee optimal quality. Driven by a love of the land and wine, the owners invest themselves daily in showcasing the expertise of their estate, while emphasizing the importance of terroir in the winemaking process.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Château Filhot is a meticulous process that begins with the hand-harvesting of carefully selected grapes, chosen for their perfect ripeness. After gentle pressing, the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness of the aromas. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are new, adding a touch of complexity and roundness to the wine. The time spent in the barrel also refines the texture and enriches the aromatic bouquet, resulting in an elegant and refined Sauternes.
