Presentation
Duc de Landerac refers to an entire generation of nobles from the Bordeaux region, dedicated to their vineyards and the prestige of their terroir.
Recognized for centuries, the wines of Sauternes owe much of their exceptional quality to the unique microclimate they enjoy. Situated between the Garonne and the Ciron rivers, an autumn mist forms, fostering the development of the noble rot Botrytis cinerea, which imparts to the grapes those unique flavors so characteristic of Sauternes wines. The combination of these favorable conditions and the meticulous expertise of the winemakers makes it possible to offer this Duc De Landérac of remarkable finesse.
