Château Filhot is a second growth in the Sauternes appellation. Though its vineyards date from the 17th century, it did not get its name until the early 18th century when Romain de Filhot bought it. It went through several ownerships over the centuries and is today owned by Vaucelles family. The 150-acre estate makes a wine that is drier than that made by its famous neighbor Chateau d’Yquem. Chateau Filhot is typically about 60% Semillon, 36% Sauvignon Blanc and 4% Muscadelle.
