Written Notes

Tasted in November 2021. Almost as thrilling as 2019! Unctuous, very rich and with outstanding freshness and acidity. Remarkable sweetness and many botrytized flavours like honey melon, almonds, sweet pineapple and mango. Long and creamy finish.

  • 96p

80% Sémillon, 20% Sauvignon Blanc.

Pale golden. Apricots, pineapples, peach, fruity, elegant and bright nose. Fresh acidity, fresh, fruity, detailed, beautiful, lively, nuanced and long. Superb purity. 94-96

Bright golden yellow colour. Opulent nose with aroma reminiscent of candied apricots and ripe pineapple, candied orange peel, hints of vanilla, honey and peach jam in the background. On the palate opulent sweetness and fine acidity, with good depth and length, confirming the fruit in the nose. 93
