The estate in Fargues has been working on this style for generations and even bottles this wine specifically in 0.375 L, which makes it extra attractive for a refined dessert, cheese board, or small gathering. This signature begins in Sauternes itself, where morning mist and sun together enable the development of botrytis. What is botrytis cinerea? It is the noble rot that dehydrates grapes, thus providing more concentration, depth, and sweet intensity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"726\" data-end=\"749\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"751\" data-end=\"877\"\u003eThe origin of this wine lies in Fargues, one of the classic communes of Sauternes. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"904\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château Haut-Claverie is located in Fargues, within the Sauternes appellation in the southern part of Bordeaux.

Through the Claverie, Duron, and later Sendrey families, the winery grew into the current Château Haut-Claverie, with a clear focus on tradition and progress. Since 2019, the estate holds HVE Level 3 certification, the highest French recognition within this system, which beautifully demonstrates that the family combines classic Sauternes today with a modern, careful way of working in the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fourcroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45060700176463,"sku":"09200390","price":17.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/ChateauHaut-ClaverieSauternes20200_375L_7edde6d8-e421-451b-89c6-1ba85ad409d6.webp?v=1777536134","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/products\/chateau-haut-claverie-sauternes-2020-0375l","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
