In great years, very aromatic, rich in scents of ripe candied fruit, honey, and vanilla from the oak aging. In addition to the full, lush sweetness, the wine contains a remarkable freshness thanks to the lively acidity, which also ensures that the wine can age well.
Château Simon, Sauternes
Producer: Anne-Laure Dufour Bonnard
Classification: AOP Barsac, Sauternes
Type of Wine: Full sweet white wine
Grape variety (varieties): sémillon 80%, sauvignon blanc 18%, muscadelle 2%
Closure: Cork
Country: France
Wine region: Bordeaux
Area: Graves & Sauternes
Winemaking: Under the right conditions, the ripe grapes here attract a mold that thrives in the morning mist rising from the river. This mold, Botrytis Cinerea (pourriture noble), perforates the skin, causing the juice in the grape to become concentrated and very rich in sugar. Pourriture noble also gives the wine special flavor nuances and a lot of refinement. The harvest is done in 4 to 5 passes, each time only the affected grapes are cut from the bunch. After fermentation, the wine ages, depending on the vintage, for another 10 to 15 months in new oak barriques, wooden barrels of 225 liters.
Area information: Sauternes is the name of a small wine region of nearly 2,000 hectares on the left bank of the Garonne river. It is a relatively flat area, located about 40 km from the city of Bordeaux. The area includes 5 villages: Sauternes, Fargues, Bommes, Preignac, and Barsac. The soil of Sauternes (which is higher and more hilly) contains a lot of gravel, while in Barsac (which may use its own appellation for its 850 ha of vineyard) there is often much more limestone. Here, the finest sweet wines of France are made. A small river, the Ciron, runs through the area and is important for the formation of botrytis. This special mold develops in the warm, humid autumn and, via the morning mist, covers the ripe grapes. Due to the heat of the day, the molds grow quickly and perforate the skin, causing some of the juice to escape, leaving a high-quality concentrate of sugars and aromatic and flavor substances. This process is called 'pourriture noble', or 'noble rot'. Dry white wines from this famous region must be sold as Bordeaux Blanc.
Producer information: Château Simon has been owned by the Dufour family since 1814. Both white and red grapes are planted on the 38-hectare vineyard. About 17 hectares are used for producing Sauternes. The remaining 21 hectares of vineyards are used for the production of white and red AOP Graves and white and red AOP Bordeaux wines. The soil here contains a lot of limestone and clay with occasional concentrations of gravel. The average age of the vines at Château Simon is 30 years, with 6,000 vines per hectare. Since 1983, efforts have been made to reduce the use of pesticides and insecticides. Now, three generations of the Dufour family work in the company, with extensive knowledge in vineyard management and vinification. Anne-Laure and Pauline are the youngest generation at Château Simon, ensuring consistently high quality at a very reasonable price.
Serving suggestions: With rillettes, foie gras or duck liver, stews of white poultry and mushrooms, desserts with red fruit, peach, apricot, pear, crème brûlée and classic soufflés.
Serving temperature: 10 to 12ºC
Other information: During prolonged rain in autumn, the 'noble' rot can turn into a harmful variant, the 'gray' rot. Then the harvest is lost, and in the worst case, no wine is made that year. Wines from the AOP Barsac may also be marketed as AOP Sauternes. This is often done in exports because Sauternes is better known than Barsac.

Had great experience with the sousbox. Especially recommended for a romantic successful home evening with the two of you. Candles on, music in the background and in turn, or cozy together, making the dishes and eating. Nice wine. Delicious no hurry, and top quality eat. What else do you want? What weakened love blooms again. An absolute must!
Sous is actually a culinary experience at home! Whether you want to dine extensively (while the children are in bed and you don't have to arrange a babysitter) or if you want to put a whole table full of tasty snacks in no time, because with Sous everyone can do it! It starts with the good service at the door, to the handwritten card that you receive during the holidays. And don't forget the tasty food of course;) This means that we have been a customer of Sous for years and we hope to be able to enjoy this for a long time.
Ordered a box for the second time and enjoyed it again! The delivery is super, very well packaged and what delicious dishes! It is already a party to draw up the signs according to the supplied guidelines. And then to have a star meal in your own house. We will do this much more often, a big 10!
So easy. Delicious food without worries. With Christmas, no shopping lists, not in line in the stores, no stress in the kitchen. Pure luxury. If you are (already a bit older) opposite to invite people, just order a delicious meal at Sous, then you can also enjoy the food and the fun. Several times, ordered different meals and every time it was perfect!
We had much to celebrate with our family. Above all, life; After a nasty disease that has left my body. And the happiness of a brand new bridal couple whose wedding we had missed because I am not allowed to fly after an operation. The World of Streetfood combines perfectly with the vegetarian variant. We sat at the table with each other a wonderful afternoon. The dishes were put together by changing chefs. It was a relaxed and delicious experience.

“A delightful experience, enjoyed an exquisite meal. Neatly packaged, clearly described what you need to do to REALLY enjoy it. What a wonderful formula!”
“We ordered sous for our anniversary dinner. Since we have two children under three, it is not always possible to arrange a good night out. This way we could enjoy fine cuisine at home while the two little troublemakers slept peacefully. Delivery was smooth, preparation was easy, and tasting was ecstatic!”
“Perfect, every box is unique. We ordered for the first time during the pandemic and many times since then. Also, quite a few times as a gift for my friends—a perfect surprise on their doorstep! The refrigerated delivery service is the best! Would recommend 100%”
“Besides the great concept, diverse choice, and outstanding performance, communicating with sous was next level. Customer experience first. Very, very happy, and before I forget, the food is delicious!”
“Both boxes (Ron's Rames and Thai Boat) complemented each other perfectly in terms of flavors and presentation! We'll definitely be doing this again!”
“Delicious menu! Tasty and easy to prepare. You have to provide a nice ambiance yourself (nice plates, candles, music). If you create this romantic setting it will be a true 'night out'. Of course you have to go into the kitchen yourself to do the minimum of preparation, but it is also nice that you can make these beautiful creations on the plate yourself. Recommended!”
“The menu selection and delivery went very smoothly! A great way to have a lovely dinner at home with your guests, without being in the kitchen all the time. So all the time for catching up and enjoying great amazing food. Definitely something to do more often and try out the various restaurants.”
“I received this Surprise Restaurant Dinner meal prepared by Ron, the day before my birthday, from my sister-in-law who lives in Spain. I say Surprise Restaurant Dinner, because that's the ultimate experience I got after I unpacked the box, heated it according to the simple instructions and then enjoyed it with my husband of 48 years. The guy who had delivered it had given me a warm smile and said: enjoy it. ”
“We are huge fans of sous; as date nights out of the house with a baby aren't always that easy, we often have date nights at home with a sous box. This last time we had the Dijk 9 Autumn Menu, and of all the sous boxes we've ordered over the past few years, this was absolutely the best!”
“The information on the site matches reality. Ordering is simple. Delivery is easy to track online and always on time. And the quality of the food is always a reason to be happy. For us, there's no need to get in the car and drive to a restaurant anymore. And nobody has to be the designated driver anymore.”
“It was delicious. Both the Indonesian rice table and the Chinese shared dining meat dishes were tasty. In December, we're going for the Dick Middelweerd menu. I think this is a great formula. I'm going to use it more often.”
