The influence of noble rot brings depth and honeyed complexity, while careful vinification ensures the wine remains fresh and harmonious. The blend of Sémillon’s richness with Sauvignon Blanc’s lift creates a dessert wine that feels refined rather than heavy, making it versatile, food-friendly and highly enjoyable across many occasions.
Tasting Notes
Golden amber in the glass with luminous highlights. The nose is generous and inviting, revealing acacia honey, ripe apricot, candied citrus peel and delicate floral notes. On the palate, the wine is smooth and layered; stone fruit, honeyed citrus and gentle spice unfold across a silky texture. Bright acidity keeps the sweetness lifted, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering notes of marmalade and blossom.
Food Pairing
This Sauternes shines alongside dishes that echo its richness and contrast its sweetness. It pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, pâté, almond pastries, crème brûlée or fruit tarts. It is equally captivating on its own as a contemplative after-dinner wine, where its balance and aromatic complexity take centre stage.
