Description
Château Haute-Fonrousse 2023 reflects the richness and generosity of the Monbazillac terroir, one of the emblematic appellations of Southwest France. This sweet wine is crafted with the help of noble rot (botrytis), which concentrates sugars and aromas, creating a nectar of exceptional quality.
Blend and winemaking
This 2023 vintage is a harmonious blend of Sémillon for structure and roundness, Sauvignon Blanc for freshness, and Muscadelle for aromatic complexity. Grapes are hand-harvested in successive selections to pick only those touched by botrytis. Traditional vinification and careful ageing reveal the perfect balance between luscious sweetness and vibrant freshness.
Tasting notes

On the palate, it is rich and velvety, lifted by lively freshness that avoids heaviness. The finish is long, elegant, and harmonious.
