Château Filhot Sauternes was founded in 1709 by Romain de Filhot. It is now owned and managed by one of his descendant: Count Gabriel de Vaucelles. The vineyard was awarded the 'Second Cru Classification' according to the 1855 classification.
Château Filhot is produced with botrytised grapes hand picked between mid-september and the end of october by successive selections through the vines. A minimum potential of 20°C is required to start the harvest. The fermentation process is done in small stainless steel tanks at low temperature to keep the freshness and the flavours of the wine. Ageing takes 22 months including 12 months in oak barrels (1/3 new barrels per year).
Tasting Notes
With an aroma of spiced vanilla, banana and honey, the palate is soft with a long caramel finish.
