It is an unique experience that does not\nstart and is not finished in tasting. It is a taste that has content and the\npower to remain in your memory, marking a historical chapter in your wine lover’s\nlife!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I am not exaggerating… We are\ntalking about the Sauternes, a wine produced in the south of Bourdeax from the\nsemillion grape. It is a sweeter wine, light in color, and has already been\ncalled ‘bottled light’ among the most passionate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monduvin has been in the last few days\nin the region of these wines that are so desired and admired all over the\nworld, and are considered proper for ‘dessert’, by their liqueur content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sauternes wine is the result of the\naction of a microscopic fungus, called Botrytis\nCinerea<\/em>, which appears between grape trees during the month of September\nand causes greater porosity in the ‘skin’ of the grape. This action allows\ngreater evaporation of the water that remains inside the fruit, and at the same\ntime it causes chemical transformations that increases the content of glycerin\nand pectin of the grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what do we have as a result? A\nhigher concentration of sugar and, therefore, a sweet flavour that has made the\nSauternes be considered the sweetest wine in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there is more… This wine, made\nfrom a manual harvesting process, extremely delicate, is produced on a very low\nscale (a vineyard can yield only one cup), which makes it rare and therefore\nhighly valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another feature that makes Sauternes so special\nis its aging. This wine has greater power of guard, that can come up to a\ncentury! Thus, over the years, its color turns magically from yellow gold into\namber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And do you know where the best of the\nSauternes is? Monduvin knows, because we checked (and tasted) this true\ntreasure: the Ch\u00e2teau d’Yquem, located in the southern part of vineyards of\nBordeaux, where the only Grand Premier Cru is ranked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as if the unique oenological\nexperience was not enough, the tour still counted on the beautiful natural\nlandscapes and a visit to the small communes of the region: the medieval\nvillage of Saint Macaire is only a few minutes away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An experience that escapes from the\nclassic reds and whites and expands its repertoire to the World of the Wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s worth it, for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
