Vinification
The grapes are harvested late, normally at the end of October. They are picked manually and sorted extremely carefully (5 passages). Every effort is made during winemaking to achieve maximum quality. The concentrated juice is obtained by an extremely soft pressing in a pneumatic press. This is followed by a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation in large vessels. The fermentation ends when the desired balance is reached between the sugar and alcohol content.

About Ch. Des Arroucats
This domain has been family-run for several generations since the foundation just after WWII. Currently it is led by Virginie Barbe, who makes these wines with an incredible passion. In Sainte-Croix-du-Mont you will find identical grape varieties as in Sauternes, with a similar climate with morning fog and sunny afternoons.
