What a pleasant wine. Vigorous and honeyed, tinned peaches, a good amount of botrytis. Just the right sweetness and weight for our raspberry pavlova - but not the sort of wine that grabs attention away from the food.

Tasted this at Crystal Wines' Vive La France - French Wine Sale.
Golden in colour with wonderful nose of nectar, honeycomb and fresh peaches. On the palate the wine is refreshing, with the sweetness well balanced by the freshness. Body carries sufficient weight but none of the fats which comes with some of the other Sauternes.
Overall this is a delightful wine from a often under-rated vintage.

Perfect end to a perfect Xmas dinner. Got this out of a lot that had some smoke damage from a fire. Luckily it didn’t damage the wine.

The cloying sweetness was almost as disappointing as the complete absence of acidity. Yuck.
