Angel of Gold Sauternes 2014
The appellation Sauternes is located about forty kilometers south-east of Bordeaux, between the Garonne in the north and the valley of Ciron in the west. These two rivers influence the climate: the alternation of warm and sunny mornings and afternoons encourages the development of noble rot: the botrytis cinerea. This mushroom causes on the grape varieties Sémillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle a concentration of maximum sugar by attacking the water contained in the berries.
