Château Filhot 1937
Founded in 1709, Château Filhot is one of the most prestigious properties in Sauternes. Listed in 1855, the estate covers more than 60 hectares of vines planted on gravel and clay soils, benefiting from the unique microclimate created by the Garonne and Ciron rivers. The de Vaucelles family, owners since the 19th century, continues a centuries-old tradition by producing wines of remarkable finesse and complexity, recognized worldwide.
The 1937 vintage is considered one of the greatest Sauternes vintages of the 20th century. The ideal climatic conditions favored the development of botrytis of exceptional quality, resulting in grapes concentrated in sugars and aromas. This 1937 Château Filhot cuvée perfectly embodies the elegance and longevity of great Sauternes: an impressive aromatic richness and phenomenal aging capacity that make it a true testament to winemaking history.
After nearly nine decades of development, this wine reveals a deep amber color with copper highlights. The nose opens with captivating aromas of candied fruit, orange peel, chestnut honey, and saffron, blended with notes of wax and blond tobacco. The palate is fascinatingly complex: a full-bodied, velvety liqueur, supported by perfectly integrated acidity, offering a long finish with spicy and honeyed nuances. A unique, rare, and precious experience, reserved for lovers of great historical sweet wines.
