Château Filhot Sauternes 1996

$98.00

Hurry! Only 2 Left in Stock!

🍇 Grape: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc

🌍 Country: France

📍 Region: Bordeaux

🍃 Viticulture practice: Conventional

The 1996 Château Filhot Sauternes is rare back-vintage Sauternes from 2nd Grand Cru Classé Filhot — Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc affected by noble rot (botrytis), traditional winemaking, long aging potential. 1996 was a celebrated Sauternes vintage, and the wine is drinking at full mature complexity nearly thirty years on: dried apricot, honey, marmalade, beeswax, saffron, a long rancio-inflected finish. Distinct from the 2003 Filhot (warmer, more concentrated vintage) in style — cooler, more linear, more classical. A collector's Sauternes at $98 — a price that seems generous for a 1996 Grand Cru Classé.

About the Producer

Château Filhot is a historic 2nd Grand Cru Classé Sauternes estate, one of the Barsac-Sauternes appellation's largest and most architecturally spectacular properties. Owned by the de Vaucelles family, the château sits on a magnificent 18th-century estate with over 60 hectares of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle planted on deep sandy gravels. Filhot produces Sauternes in a lighter, more delicate style than some of its more opulent neighbours, elegant, floral, and refreshingly accessible, with golden stone fruit, honey, and a lifted acidity that makes it versatile with food. A rare treasure in the world of sweet wine, and one of the most historically important addresses in all of Bordeaux.
