(Fig. 2). The White Wines of the Medoc generally show from 13 to 14 per cent of alcohol, but as above stated they are short-lived and do not keep well for more than three or four years. SAUTERNES. The Sauternes are sweet, white table wines with a characteristic bouquet and a raisin flavour, and contain 17 per cent of alcohol. Vintage is postponed until the rainy sea- son sets in when the grapes attain the pourri state already referred to, and usually begins on the 15th of August and con- tinues... for one month. The pickers gather only the pourried grapes from the bunches, picking the berries by hand from each bunch, and therefore go round the- vineyard several times until the whole of the crop is collected. The berries are collected in wooden baskets and poured into tubs carried on a long pole; these tubs are conveyed to the factory on large carts drawn by oxen. The grapes are first passed through a crusher and then pressed into a Vermorel press or in a hydraulic one. The marc is then removed from the press and passed through a sifter to re- tain any stray pieces of stalk.
