Chateau Roumieu Sauternes 2015 Full Bottle 750ml
$85.00
Description
A classic Sauternes defined by its botrytis-infected Semillon grapes, this wine features rich textures of peach, mango, and pineapple, complemented by subtle undertones of chamomile tea and dried herbs. Smoky nuances and white pepper spice blend seamlessly with balanced acidity for an appealing finish.
Chateau Roumieu is well placed beside the well known châteaux of the 1855 classification, Château Climens, a Premier Cru Classe and Château Doisy Vedrines a 2nd Cru Classe. Using only traditional methods and organic fertilizers Château Roumieu adapts quickly to changing weather influences. The grapes for the Barsac-Sauternes wines are picked by hand, usually in October, with an experienced team of grape pickers going over the same area 3 to 6 times to select the grapes which have reached a specific level of ripeness. Again, using traditional methods the wine is left to develop for over 18 months in oak barrels in the 'chai' or storehouse where temperature and hydrometry are strictly and constantly measured.
