  Now showing at its peak this offered up an incredible flavour profile that almost exploded on the palate. There were notes of botrytis, honey, barley sugar, apricot, almonds and caramel. Rich and unctuous, there was sufficient acidity to cut through any cloying sweetness, so it remained fresh and lively right though to a very fine finish. At 15 years old this is now close to perfection, and in my book a very fine Sauternes. CHP 93 pts

  Honeyed and unctuous, there was grilled almond, apricot and barley sugar, kept in balance with a lively streak of acidity and freshness. The finish as would be expected was rich and lingering. Light on its feet, it never remotely cloyed. A delight. CHP 92 pts

  From 375ml. Notably darker in color than the rest of my '09 Sauternes but still tasted young and fresh. Absolutely delicious profile of brulee vanilla sugar with loads of tropical fruit and just enough acidity to balance. Touch of baking spices and botrytis throughout. Paired perfectly with both the pumpkin pie and apple galette. This is an average-great sauternes and will stun the pants off of a casual wine drinker who has never tasted a proper desert wine before. Loved by all at the table. I'm never disappointed with this producer.

  Deep yellow. Honey, sweet orange, tangerine and a super long sweet finish.
