A very decent Semillon dominated blend from Graves.
Needs a bit of air to show the full bouquet of creamy, waxy lemons, fresh nettle, shy green gooseberries.
Nice freshness on the palate, with juicy acidity balancing off the creamy Semillon influenced mouthfeel.
A hint of salty, green minerality towards the end adds complexity, though it turns a bit too herby & bitter with time.

Bordeaux bubbly! Perfect for an impromptu Monday night celebration! Fun and fruity, it shows its 50% Semillon character on the nose with fragrant waxiness and crisp pear. Fruity and round, though basically dry, in the mouth. Gentle, creamy frothiness. Great value and definitely would appeal to a broad range of tastes. — 2 years ago
Nose: lychee (?), vanilla, corn sugar, tangerine, baked apple, light caramel. Taste: a distinct grain sugar (barley?), golden raisins, orange/tangerine, bitter almond, some vanilla. Good. 91. — 3 years ago
Honey and apricot and gas and clear botrytis influence and lush but clear acidity. Awesome — 6 years ago
Tasted blind. Deep brown and almost a 100 years old, the Crème de Tête is a special barrel selection from Château d'Arche, only made in a few vintages, such as 1906, 1928, 1929, 1961 and 1967. Pure perfection in the glass, the 1928 showcases intense aromas of fig compote, dried plums, shitake mushroom, orange rind, salty dark caramel and malt. The fireworks continue on the palate, where exuberant flavor richness, mesmerizing sweetness and lively acids build an almost immortal Sauternes. Drink now until 2050. — 2 years ago
