AOC Côtes de Bordeaux Saint-Macaire

Located in the South-West quarter of France, the Bordeaux vineyard is known for its great wines. Among the many appellations it has, we find the AOC Côtes de Bordeaux Saint-Macaire.

The appellation area, which produces white and sweet wines, extends along the right bank of the Garonne. The contrast between the vines' full southern exposure and the night fog caused by the humidity of the Garonne encourages the development of the fungus responsible for Nobel rot (Botrytis cinerea), especially in very hot years. It makes it possible to produce sweet wines that will keep for a good ten years. The white wines, made from Sauvignon, Sémillon and Muscadelle, can be kept for between 2 and 3 years.
