Cave de Sauveterre - Vignerons de Bordeaux

The perfumes emitted by the wine give us precious indications concerning its age, the blend of different grape varieties and the region of origin. For example, one can recognise a white Sauvignon by its floral tones, also those of box-wood and a slight lemony smell, while a ‘muscatel' wine would give off muscat and exotic fruit perfumes. The sense of smell provides us with as much as 70% of the information in wine tasting.
