Chateau Roumieu Sauternes 2019

Wine has a brilliant golden yellow color. Soft, full and rich on the palate with a silky texture, notes of apricot and lime, long aftertaste. The aroma of wine is composed of exotic fruits, flowers and honey.

The wine goes well with foie gras, spicy and blue cheeses, lobster and white meat.

Late harvest. The grapes are harvested by hand and sent to the delicate pressing. Maceration and fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature.

The wine ages in oak barrels for about 18 months. 

The grapes for wine are grown on a plot of 17 hectares, the average age of the vines is 20-30 years.

A special feature of the Château Rumier vineyard terroir is the morning fog from the Siron and Garonne rivers, which, combined with the warm autumn climate starting in September, encourages the development of pourriture - a noble rot, a microscopic fungus that gives the wine a unique taste. Chateau Rumier wines are distinguished by their elegant yet powerful style and captivating sweetness.
