Sauteres Sunise is one of an extrodinary and unique pair of paintings both very special studies at this location, made from the same ‘spot’ on different days and demonstrating two aspects of the climate that helps make the wines exclusive and world famous.
The pair are a pursuit of the damp that causes the ‘Noble Rot’ during the rapidly changing morning light and colour so essential to the extraordinary qualities of Sauternes wines.
Many distinguished people and renowned companies have chosen Frickers paintings as you can discover by reading my illustrated résumée.
Sauternes painting
Sauternes sunrise without mist, having conceived an idea, a visualization, more careful pre-planned than usual was needed for this painting. This Sauternes painting isone of two spontaneous paintings created on different days.
Sauternes Sunrise over the Ciron was intended form conception of the idea to be created as a pair with “Essential Mists“, painting spontaniously, very fast in a race against time in the chill of first light.
How many artists would be out before dawn to paint on the location? You won’t see many other paintings like this one, enjoy!
Sauternes why so special?
In the late summer ands early autumn of the Bordeaux weather is typically warm and dry.
At tranquil Sauternes the sunrise struggled to create a clear warm Sauternes day, “Sauternes Sunrise over the Ciron” is ‘painted plien aire’ before the sun was fully established in its day light realm.
The little Ciron has cooler waters than the nearby major river Garonne.
The different autumnal moist air temperatures from the two rivers often cause mists that descend upon the vineyards at night lingering to late morning.
That mist causes the ‘Noble Rot’ so essential to the concentration of the sugars in the grapes of Sauternes.
That together with hand picking, sometimes as many as seven passes in an autumn, begins the creation of the incredible Sauternes wines.
To better understand the Valley of the Ciron and Sauternes, see the twin painting of dawn as captures by the remarable “Essential Mists“.
