The Château Filhot was founded in 1709 by Romain de Filhot and is now owned and managed by one of his descendants: Count Henri de Vaucelles. The estate covers an area of 350 hectares with 62 hectares of vineyard all along the south of the Sauternes village in the Sauternes appellation.
The Château Filhot is a classic Sauternes with specific fresh Sauvignon Blanc flavoured character (36% Sauvignon Blanc in the blend). Honey, crème caramel, luscious stone fruits; excellent acidity; long elegant finish. A classic pairing with blue cheese, tarte tatin or delicious just as an aperitif or degestif.
The Château Filhot can be appreciated as an aperitif or throughout the following meals :
- foie gras
- melons
- scallops
- asparagus with sauce mousseline
- a good roast free-range chicken or capon
- fish with sauce as the Turbot or a Sole
- cheeseboard: blue cheeses and Roquefort
- desserts (Almond Cake, Fruit Tart)
