Origin and terroir
Located about 40 km southeast of Bordeaux, between the Garonne River and the Landes forest, SICHEL vineyards are 50 years old and are situated in a landscape of diverse soils, ranging from gravel on the heights to sand on the plains, with a clay subsoil that contributes personality and character to the wine. This region has an ideal microclimate for noble rot from Botrytis, which, with the succession of foggy mornings and sunny days in September and October, concentrates sugar and develops unique aromas and flavors.
Careful and artisanal craftsmanship
The Sémillon, Sauvignon, and Muscadelle grapes are hand-harvested in several passes to select only overripe berries and ensure maximum sugar concentration. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, never exceeding 22°C, to preserve freshness and aromatic richness. When the wine reaches between 70 and 80 grams per liter of residual sugar, fermentation is stopped to retain its natural sweetness. Aging in vats for 10 to 12 months allows the wine to refine its texture and complexity, resulting in a golden, fine, delicate, and full-bodied dessert wine with an exceptional aromatic bouquet.
A world-class white liqueur
SICHEL is considered by many to be the number one dessert wine in the world, a liquid jewel that seduces with its balance, richness, and elegance. Perfect for those seeking a superior quality sweet wine, ideal for pairing with appetizers, desserts, or blue cheeses.
