Vineyard in well-thought-out cultivation

Saussignac 2009
Domaine du Castellat
Price : 9.90€

Grape varieties: Sémillon 80%, Muscadelle 20%
Soil: Clay-limestone
Heavy-weight bottles 75 cl
Late hand-harvesting by successive sorting.
Wine-making process: Pressing, removing the must, temperature-controlled fermentation at 19°C, mutage (stopping the must from fermenting).
Aged in French oak barrels.

Characteristic of this wine: wine not chaptalized (chaptalization is a method of increasing the alcohol in a wine by adding sugar to the must before or during fermentation).

Tasting:
Straw-yellow colour with gold highlights.
Very complex nose with dominant notes of candied fruit (apricots, pineapples, oranges...) and more discreet toasted dry fruit when aired.
The attack in the mouth is full and syrupy, a lot of fullness with honey and vanilla flavours, good length and good aromatic persistence at the finish.
This wine has a good future.
To drink as an aperitif, with foie gras, fish in sauce, Roquefort, strawberries, walnut cakes...
