Sunday, April 17, 2022 - Diffuse but very persistent nose on crème brûlée and orange marmalade.

Palate that combines richness and suppleness and gives a Sauternes of great sapidity. Orange marmalade and burnt sugar will dominate, followed by an assertive complexity, in particular almonds, candied apricot and almost a very original salty touch. The juice is loose and fine. The finish is magnificently fresh with a long caramelized and spicy finish.

Excellent, I much prefer this type of Sauternes on finesse than the viscous bombs that weigh down the end of the meal.
