Château FILHOT 1988

Château Filhot is located in Sauternes , in the Bordeaux wine region. The estate was classified as a Second Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 Sauternes and Barsac Classification. After the French Revolution, the château was owned by the Lur-Saluces family, known for their relationship with the prestigious Château d'Yquem. From 1855 to 1901, Château Filhot was known as Château Sauternes. The estate is now owned and managed by Gabriel de Vaucelles , a descendant of Romain de Filhot. The vineyards extend over 62 hectares at the southern end of the appellation. The soils are composed of deep gravel, clay and sand on a limestone base. Morning mists rising from the Ciron River are known to promote the development of botrytis on the grapes.

Château Filhot is a blend of botrytized Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle . The grape varieties are vinified separately in stainless steel vats for 10 to 30 days. They are aged for about 2 years in vats and French oak barrels, a third of which are new . The wines are then blended and bottled.

Grape varieties: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle
