The Bordenave family’s winemaking heritage dates back to 1676.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine has a golden-yellow colour with silvery highlights. Its refined aromas bring together exotic fruit, candied apricot and orange peel, with delicate hints of saffron, acacia honey and toasted hazelnut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe estate’s sandy, gravelly soils contribute a mineral character, while Sauternes’ misty mornings help encourage Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot, which concentrates the grapes’ sugars and aromas. The grapes are harvested by hand in successive passes, with only suitably ripe, botrytised bunches selected. Following fermentation, the wine spends six months in oak barrels, developing a silky texture and added aromatic complexity while retaining lively acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled, around 8–10°C, with foie gras, blue cheeses or fruit desserts; it also pairs well with dry pastries. Decanting is not usually necessary, though a brief moment in the glass can allow its aromas to open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bordenave family has maintained a winemaking tradition in Bordeaux since 1676.
