Château Les Justices
Château Les Justices produces Sauternes in the eponymous appellation of Bordeaux, where botrytized dessert wines have defined the region for centuries. The winery's flagship Sauternes blends Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle—the classic triumvirate of the appellation. Sauvignon Blanc brings aromatic lift and acidity; Sémillon contributes body and honeyed richness when affected by noble rot; Muscadelle adds floral complexity. The result is a wine of concentrated sweetness balanced by the natural acidity inherent to the region's cool-climate grapes. Wine Spectator has rated the wine at 86.1 points. Sauternes demands patience and precision in the vineyard, where selective harvesting of affected berries determines quality. Château Les Justices' expression reflects the terroir and technique required to craft these wines.
