The Story

With age the bright gold evolves to a dark amber colour.

Written Notes

Intense on the nose with acacia honey, candied apricot, and mango. The palate has great complexity, structure, and length, where acidity and sweetness make a great pair. Vibrant, refined, and sophisticated. Fabulous stuff. 96-97p.

Monumental une nouvelle fois par sa richesse en liqueur mais aussi son suprême équilibre, avec déjà les notes d’agrumes, orange et mandarine, qui font sa
spécificité entre tous les premiers crus de Sauternes. 97-98

  Golden, detailed, nuanced, peach and apricots, detailed and layered nose.
Fresh acidity, peach, nuanced, rich, detailed, intesne, spices, apricots, pineapples, creamy, long and layered. 96-98

  • 98p

Golden colour. Rich and expressive nose with aroma reminiscent of ripe apricots, dried apricots, peach jam, roasted peanuts and vanilla, honey and brioche in the background. With some time in the glass fine hints of white blossoms and candied orange zest turning up. On the palate opulent yet elegant with fine acidity taming the rich sweetness, excellent length, quoting the aromatic profile of the nose again in the finish. A great Sauternes with purity and character.
