Description:
Delicate gold in hue, this Sauternes opens with a beautifully expressive nose, unfolding layers of dried apricot, rhubarb tart, and subtle mint. The palate is both fresh and richly textured, offering flavours of fig, candied citrus peel, and a touch of honeyed Muscadelle. Toasted oak and a faint struck-match minerality bring roundness and depth, while the fine acidity keeps the wine lifted through a long, elegant finish. A superbly balanced sweet wine with complexity and poise.

Combining freshness with generous fruit and a gentle touch of botrytis complexity, it beautifully reflects the estate’s commitment to balance, purity and terroir expression.
