What to Expect

The great sweet wines of Bordeaux, Sauternes, are among the most decadent, complex and simply enjoyable wines. Based on a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc that has been infected with the "noble rot", Botrytis Cinerea, Sauternes are rich, honied wines bursting with notes of vanilla, coconut, dried apricots and subtle spice tones. They are usually very sweet and rich with a soft quality to them that makes them appealing in their youth yet they can age and improve for decades. The neighboring village of Barsac frequently makes wines comparable to those of Sauternes.

Winemakers Notes

Tasting Notes :This has a great character, vibrant with a lemon-honey freshness. This has richness, roundness and an appealing depth. Creamy with barley sugar character again, but with a light-footed, lifted style. Rich in texture beneath. Decent acidity. Very good.

Rating: 17/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Relatively pale gold. Lots of sweetness and some freshness. For the moment still slightly simple, pear juice with a hint of tarte tatin.

4 Stars Decanter 1/08 "White floral flavour, honeyed bouquet. Quite broad fruit, yet in balance with citrusy, honeyed richeness and acidity. Very good wine."

Jancis
Robinson

Rating: 17/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Coppery gold. Very deep botrytised flavours. Exciting pear and peach notes. Both weight and excitement - real life and potential. Lacks the taut energy of some but a good package.
