Bottled for and imported by "the Bordeaux discoverer" Yvon Mau, Aureus de Sauternes starts with three laborious, hand-picked passes through the vineyards; a careful harvest of the botrytis affected grapes. A slow, gentle press and long, cool fermentation precedes aging in both new and used French oak barrels. The wine is sensorial, sensuous and seductive.
