| | Sauternes is the blonde little sister of the great region of reds to the north: sweeter, with more gentle scenery, and artlessly seductive. | | | The confluence of these streams, whose waters are of different temperatures, is responsible for the autumn mists that are so important to the region’s wines, and that make its morning landscape so romantic. | | | The eponymous wine growing area is bounded to north by the Garonne river, and intersected by the river Ciron. |

| | Châteaus don't produce sweet Sauternes AC wines every vintage. | | | The best Sauternes wines come from low-yielding vines that have been hand-picked (some as many as twelve separate times) to ensure that the grapes are not culled before reaching the perfect degree of required ripeness. | | | Barsac is unusual in that it has its own appellation and its wines can be labeled either BARSAC AC or Sauternes AC; however, none of the other wines can be labeled Barsac AC. |
