Château Laville Wine

Misty mornings and sunny afternoons here are ideal for developing Botrytis cinerea. This 'noble rot' is key to Sauternes' sweet wines. The vineyards mainly grow Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes. Semillon, in particular, thrives in the local soil, adding complexity to the wine's aroma and flavour.

Harvesting at Château Laville is precise. Grapes with noble rot are handpicked in stages. This ensures each grape is at its best. The winemaking process combines tradition with modern techniques to maximise grape potential.

The fermentation happens in temperature-controlled vats. This preserves delicate aromas and flavours. Oak barrel ageing adds depth and a hint of spice.

The house's Sauternes wines are known worldwide. They balance richness and elegance. Flavours range from honeyed fruits to spices, citrus, and floral notes. The sweetness and acidity complement each other well.

Château Laville is also committed to sustainable winemaking. Practices include water management and soil conservation. These efforts help maintain vineyard health and wine quality.
