Description
This 1969 Chateau Filhot wine comes from the famous Sauternes area near Bordeaux, France. The wines of Sauternes are sweet but also fine and delicate. Their bouquet develops very well with ageing, becoming rich and complex, with crystallized orange, marmalade, hazelnut and honey notes with good acidity that offers excellent balance against the sweetness of the wine. This is a remarkably good wine for a bottle of such age.
