Dulong Reserve Sauternes - Grand vin de Bordeaux

Dulong Reserve Sauternes, a Grand Vin de Bordeaux is an exceptional dessert wine that showcases the best of the Sauternes region, renowned for its luscious, honeyed wines. It boasts a captivating golden hue and a complex aroma of candied fruits, honey, and a touch of spice creating a palate of sweetness, balanced by vibrant acidity, in a lingering finish.

The distinctiveness of Dulong Reserve Sauternes comes from its notably high sugar content, which remains substantial even after fermentation, creating a rich, velvety mouthfeel. Hand-harvested grapes are quickly pressed at the winery to preserve the freshness, flavors, and sweetness of their juice. The winemaker then expertly oversees the fermentation process, converting the sugar into alcohol.
