A definite winner. Light, not overly sweet with a honey, nutty character that retains a refreshing grapiness that is usually absent in stickies. Only qualm was that I felt the oak could have been a bit more muted, but who am I to quibble with M. Ramonteau. Reinforced the notion that Jurancon is completely under-appreciated, as from a QPR perspective this provides much to recommend compared to Sauternes etc.

Superb. A hint of nut and oak. Not overly sweet - just right. Interesting alternative to sauternes.
