Because the champagne wasn't impressive I went into the deeper parts of my cellar to dig up a sweet wine which I knew would please the crowd. 21 year-old and kicking!
Apricot, honey, dry fruits, hasselnuts, wax, preserved orange peel, sweet bready touches too. The botrytis thing is strong! The palate is surprisingly long, easy going and fresh! It was a very hot vintage but it seems they managed to keep some freshness in the berries because the acid drive, which is massive, is balancing the sweetness of the wine so much that it's almost a palate cleanser. Apricot and honey notes all long, before a very long and fresh finish that goes on for a good 35 to 40 seconds. We need to make Sauternes a hot thing again ! — 12 days ago

Vintage 2001 | Beautiful developed and great intensity. Apricot, honey, botytris in smell. Balanced sweet. Such wines will outlive me. First time we tried Sauternes with oysters. It works.

Merry X-mas! 🎄❤️🍀 — a day ago

2009 vintage ( half bottle). Looks more evolved than the 2010 tasted alongside. But it is also much more complex. Intense perfume showing an abundance of noble rot, with roasted nuts, pineapple, honey, and a hint of thyme. Concentrated and layered, perfectly balanced and very long. Seems to be a notch above the 2010 today — 2 months ago

Still fairly primary. The fruit on the nose is remarkable. The purest apricot, and a little lightly burnt brown sugar, lots of flowers. Intense in the mouth. Not that sweet, and pretty good acids. Great length. This will go a long time. Delicious now, and certainly much better down the road. — a month ago
