Filhot
The Sauternes vineyard of Chateau Filhot (founded in 1709) is now managed by the descendant of the founder Romain de Filhot, count Henri de Vaucelles. The Landes forest border and Ciron river crossing create an ideal microclimate in which to produce wines with their fresh Sauvignon Blanc flavours.

Wine Advocate (90)
Filhot, which prefers to tank rather than barrel ferment its wines, produced a 1990 that is clearly the best wine I have tasted from this estate. It exhibits gorgeously ripe, honeyed tropical fruit, an intense, medium to full-bodied personality, wonderful purity, fine acidity, plenty of botrytis, and a long, zesty finish. What makes this wine so appealing is its combination of richness, crisp acidity, liveliness, and zestiness. Last tasted 11/94Inc. VAT£844.54
