DESCRIPTION
A family estate since 1889, Clos Bourgelat is now managed by Antoine Lafosse. Its 14.91 hectares, certified High Environmental Value, extend over silica-gravelly soils resting on limestone, in the small Cérons appellation, neighboring Barsac and Sauternes. The vines are 60 years old.
This sweet wine is made from 100% Sémillon. The harvest is manual: only berries affected by noble rot are picked, through successive passes and plot selection. The wine is then aged for 18 months.
The color is an intense gold. The nose evokes toasted bread, candied fruits, and roasted pineapple. On the palate, it is voluptuous, with beautiful freshness and floral and citrus notes.
REGION
Bordeaux
France
The Bordeaux region is hardly a secret, as it is one of the great wine regions of France. Bordeaux has a temperate maritime climate that yields fabulous, high quality red wines. The main red grapes of the region are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Although 90% of its production is red, the region rounds out its range with white wines blended from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
Recommended for you:
A piece of Roquefort, a sip of this Cérons, and there you go: roasted pineapple, candied fruits, toasted bread, everything melts in the mouth without ever becoming heavy; it’s sheer indulgence!
