Chateau du Haut Pick Sauternes 375ml

2023 Vintage- Château du Haut Pick is located in Sauternes and belongs to Vignobles Bastor-Lamontagne and Saint-Robert. Haut Pick’s vineyard is situated on the second terrace of the Garonne River. Its terroir is essentially gravel-sand with a slight argillaceous matrix and plot variations depending on the amount of gravel. The average age of the vines is 40 years. The terroir is predisposed to produce wines which are rather fine with good acidity. The grape varieties planted are 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon, of which a part is Sauvignon Gris. The vineyard lies in large part on a sandy-gravel plateau, in addition to some areas with clay-gravel rises which are particularly suited to the production of fine wines. The terroir, which is typical of the appellation, is situated at the bottom of the mid-terrace of the Sauternes region, where the highest point is occupied by Chateau Suduiraud. Two small vineyards within Bastor-Lamontagne, planted exclusively with Semillon produce wines which have kept the names of the locality where the plots are situated: Chateau du Haut Pick (about 9 hectares which belonged to the Larrieu family) and the Cru Bordenave (about 3 hectares). Harvesting is all done by hand and takes place generally from mid- September to mi-October. Harvesting involves about 80 people and occurs during the development of noble rot on the grapes.
