Ripe pineapple and mango accented by toasty caramel and lots of spice on the nose. Rich, sweet and mouthfilling with loads of pineapple, banana and apricot. Dense and rich with enough acidity to keep it lively.
Sauternes wines are incredibly time consuming to make, thus they are generally more expensive than table wines. A well made Sauternes such as this is well worth the price.

Steely core with a touch of straw yellow. Very fresh aromas of crisp celery, apricot, light flowers and a hint of wet stone. Full bodied on the palate. Rich yet balanced with a good amount of acidity. Apricot and white peach are supported by an undercurrent of minerality, leading to a lingering honey note.

Bright lemon yellow color. Apricot and ripe yellow pear aromas are followed by sweet vanilla oak. The front of the palate is dominated by peach, and the oak is much more subdued. Apricot joins the peach with a touch of citrus. Good acidity and medium-bodied with a nice lingering fruit finish and a touch of cream.

Gorgeous bright vibrant gold in the glass. A touch of sweet petrol at the front of the nose, surrounded by light white flowers, a hint of dried apricot, honey and mandarin orange. Good medium body and nice weight on the palate. There is a decent amount of residual sugar, but very bold acidity keeps the wine from tasting overly sweet. Candied white grapefruit and dried apricot flavors.
Maybe a bit heavy to drink before dinner, but this would pair nicely with heavier fish and shellfish and cream sauces. It’s also great for drinking while watching TV on a rainy night. Only 40 cases produced.

Solid medium yellow color. Very fruity aromas of white peach, apricot and pear complemented by a healthy amount of yeast and toast. Rich and very full on the palate with nice length of fruit. Bold toasty notes accented by lingering caramel.

Pale lemon yellow color. Steely aromas of yellow pear, apricot and toast. On the palate the bubbles are very small and acid is lower, giving the wine a somewhat softer feel to it. Toasted yellow pear flavors.

Medium straw yellow. Very sweet jasmine and white flower aromas, with apricot, peach and candied lime. Very toasty on the front of the palate. Candied yellow pears and rich citrus fruit with a dark, almost cassis-like note.

Light vanilla, apricot and white flower aromas. Spicy flavors with sweet apricot notes and smoky toast, but a fairly short finish.
