Château Nairac Esquisse de Nairac, Sauternes 2006

Château Nairac, a historic winery classified in the 1855 Bordeaux classification as a Deuxième Cru Classé, boasts a history dating back to the 17th century, when the first vines were planted. The estate took its current form in the 18th century when it was acquired by Élisée Nairac, after whom the wine is named. Over the centuries, the winery has weathered downturns, disease, and frosts, yet remained true to its style, renowned for its elegance and subtlety. In 1971, the estate was acquired by Thomas Heeter and his wife Nicole Tari, whose family has been involved in Bordeaux viticulture for many decades. Since 1993, their son Nicolas Tari-Heeter has overseen winemaking, introducing more modern practices while preserving the classic character.
