The grapes are harvested by successive harvest when there are over-ripe because of by the Botrytis Cinerea fungus, which develops in the form of noble rot on the berries skin. The berries shrivelled and dry out to give very high sugar concentrations (350 to 400g/l), and create this unique aromas. In great vintages such as 198819891990199720012003200520072009… the Sauternes Barsac PDOs have produced exceptional Bordeaux white wines judged by international critics to be among the best sweet white wines in the world. Combining power and smoothness with a particularly complex character, these are very long-lasting white wines, that should be cellared because they can last for decades.
