Origines Pont d'Aulan 2020 – AOC Sauternes
LOCATION AND LANDSCAPE / This 100% Sémillon is named
Pont d’Aulan because of the Lieu-Dit of the same name
located near the plots at the origin of this cuvée. The
Pont d'Aulan was the historic bridge of the Ciron, the
emblematic river of the region and a real gateway to
the Sauternes’ region.This wine comes from a plot of
1/2 hectare with a limestone and deep gravel terroir.
GRAPE VARIETY / Sémillon
SPECIFICITY / The noble rot, botrytis cinerea. This
microscopic mushroom attacks the grapes, thanks to
the mist brought by the Ciron. The skins wilt, the sugars
concentrate until leaving only a dried grape. This results
in an extremely concentrated basis, with complex and
varied aromas.
WINE MAKING / Late harvest. Successive manual sorting.
The judgment of both the winegrower and the wine
technician are essential for the quality of the future wine.
Direct pressing with cold settling before fermentation.
This Sauternes has been aged in French oak barrels for
24 months.
TASTING NOTES / It has a beautiful bright gold color with
shiny highlights. Very expressive nose of citrus fruits. On
the palate it is a very greedy wine with exotic fruit notes.
This wine shows a nice balance between sweetness and
freshness. A wine to enjoy over the next ten years.
