Pujols-sur-Ciron, a Sauternes village by the water

Pujols-sur-Ciron is a small village of just a few hundred inhabitants, nestled in a meander of the Ciron, a river with cool, crystalline waters that flows into the Garonne nearby. It is precisely this meeting of the cold waters of the Ciron and the warmer Garonne that creates the morning mists favorable to the development of botrytis, the origin of the great sweet wines of Sauternes. The village retains an authentic rural charm with its stone houses, small church, and flowery gardens.
