Château Sigalas Rabaud Lieutenant de Sigalas 2018

This 100% Sémillon is aged for 12 months in barrels under the expert guidance of oenologist Éric Boissenot. The meticulous winemaking process, combined with a careful selection of the grapes, results in a wine that is pure, precise, and expressive of its exceptional terroir, highlighting its freshness and natural elegance.

From the same terroir as the First Growths, this wine is made under demanding conditions. After a moderate summer, the harvest required precision and speed. The grapes were carefully selected to ensure only the best botrytized berries were used, guaranteeing quality and harmony in the final wine.

Fresh and expressive, this Sauternes reveals delicate aromas of white flowers, white-fleshed fruits, and a subtle honeyed note. The palate is delicate, balanced with bright acidity and a finely controlled sweetness. A luminous wine, it is approachable, perfect to be enjoyed young for its vibrancy and lightness.

Serve chilled, between 10 and 12°C. Ideal as an aperitif, it also pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, blue cheeses, or fruit-based desserts. Accessible and elegant, it offers a perfect introduction to Sauternes, balancing sweetness, acidity, and aromatic freshness.
