  Great value - hits the right honeyed/apricot notes, solid punch of acidity, for the price…bang on. Enjoyed crisp on a summer’s evening, post grilled steak & Barolo.

  Good fruit and acidity but lacks depth and elegance we were expecting. A very nice wine, hopefully it will develop further as it is very early in its drinking window. Paired very nicely with fresh baked apple pie.

  En 375ml.
  Nez très expressif de fruit mûr, litchi, même un peu d’agrumes. En bouche, belle liqueur et concentration, de la fraîcheur, c’est bien équilibré et très prometteur. Un bel alliage de gourmandise et profondeur. Un infanticide, mais comme souvent, un bon sauternes donne beaucoup de plaisir à tout âge. 93+ pts
