The term ‘gallery forest’ refers to the vegetation consisting of oaks, pines and trees of all other species that line the River Ciron, thereby shielding it from the sun’s rays during the summer. This ‘gallery forest’ plays a significant role, as it enables the stream to maintain cooler water temperatures than those of the Garonne. This temperature difference between the two rivers gives rise to the frequent morning mists that envelop the region, and provides Botrytis cinerea with the ideal conditions for its development. The ‘gallery forest’ is therefore at the very start of the production chain for the famous Sauternes wines.
