  Hand brought over from France, this is Camille's favorite wine and sweet it is. Best enjoyed chilled to the bone. Nice light floral nose with hints of citrus. In the mouth first and foremost sweet. Tropical fruits dance over the tongue. Reminds me a bit of the few Sauternes I have had. Perhaps lacking in acidity and then the bitter finish is the real zinger. Nevertheless a pleasant wine that I would have not had the opportunity to try otherwise

  I personally don't like this style of wine. Classified as a desert wine but only off dry to the taste (not sweet enough to be a desert wine but too sweet to be a refreshing white wine). Orage grapefruit is felt on the nose. Some honey and again grapefruit in the mouth. Also something spicy that I cannot Identify (ginger?, nutmeg?...) I would not repeat purchase.

  A good amount of residual sugar makes this wine not suitable for all in terms of going along with a meal...most would call this a dessert wine. We found that there was enough acidity and balance to hold it's own. Very floral with hints of fruit flowing through. Very nice.
  
  As well, great with chocolaty desserts.
