Deep yellow-gold. Musky aromas of freshly cut flowers, apricot, minerals and mint. Rich, plump and precise on the palate with minerality providing both clarity and cut to the yellow apple, soft citrus and honey flavours. Wonderfully silky in texture, and quite long and sweet on the back. This is a promising Filhot that will age extremely well. Ideal with Christmas lunch.
Pale to medium lemon-gold in color, the 2016 Filhot gives pronounced notes of guava, pineapple upside down cake, marzipan, musk perfume, Manuka honey and allspice with a hint of crème brûlée. Full, rich and concentrated, a lovely line of freshness cuts through the dense savory/sweet layers, finishing earthy.

One of the more delicate Sauternes of 2016, the Filhot is attractive and gracious throughout. Candied orange peel, tangerine, spice, honey and wild flowers open up effortlessly in this highly expressive, mid-weight Sauternes. All the elements are very nicely balanced.
