Château Filhot

Château Filhot

Château Filhot is a prestigious wine estate located in Sauternes, Bordeaux, France. Classified as Premier Cru Classé in 1855, the château is renowned for its Sauternes, one of the great sweet white wines of the world.

Château Filhot wines are primarily crafted from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes. They are characterized by their richness, complexity, and elegance. The cuvées feature intense aromas of candied fruits such as apricot, pear, and mango, along with notes of honey, white flowers, and spices. On the palate, the Sauternes reveal an opulent and velvety texture, with sweetness perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. The finish is long and persistent. The Château Filhot 2011, for instance, is particularly praised for its depth, harmony, and aging potential.

The estate employs meticulous viticulture and traditional winemaking practices, using classic methods of late harvesting and fermentation to preserve the quality and expressiveness of the botrytized grapes. Each bottle of Château Filhot reflects the excellence of the Sauternes terroir, providing a refined and memorable tasting experience.
