Chateau Roumieu-Lacoste Sauternes 375ml

Herve Dubourdieu’s easy charm and modest disposition are complemented by his focus and ferocious perfectionism. He prefers to keep to himself, spending most of his time with his family in his modest, tasteful home, surrounded by his vineyards in the Sauternes and Graves appellations. Roumieu-Lacoste, situated in Haut Barsac, originates from his mother’s side of the family, dating back to 1890. He also owns Chateau Graville-Lacoste and Château Ducasse, where he grows grapes for his Graves Blanc and Bordeaux Blanc, respectively. In the words of Dixon Brooke, “Herve is as meticulous a person as I have encountered in France’s vineyards and wineries. Everything is kept in absolutely perfect condition, and the wines showcase the results of this care – impeccable.”

Herve's Sauternes is a reflection of his commitment to quality.  The vineyards are just across the road from First Growth Chateau Climens, but this comes to you at a fraction of the price. Composed entirely of Semillon from 50 year old vines, this is sweet yet powerful, and it possesses wonderful acidity that keeps it from becoming cloying. Really first-rate stuff at a great price!
