 A layered Sauternes with phenolic seriousness and lovely sweetness. Light spiciness at the finish.

91-92 points James Suckling

A Sauternes bouquet with a lot of freshness, profound, spicy, with great complexity and intensity. The palate is dense and highly elegant, excellent balance, large spectrum of aromas, almost endless in the finish. Great!

Baked pineapple notes on the opening, this is luscious and sweet, struggles to maintain momentum/ 4.7hl/h, a tiny yield that fully explains why this is so intense and concentrated. 135g/l residual sugar, harvest October 24 to 29.
