Sauternes Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc 2014

9.4

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark golden in color.

Strong nose of apples, over ripen citrus fruit, light nuts, tropical fruits, honey, mangoes, light pineapples, minerals and spices.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium plus acidity.

Sweet on the palate with citrus, over ripened apples, melons, spices, honeysuckle, mangoes and dried fruits.

Long finish with apricots and honey notes.

This 12 year old sweet wine from Sauternes is absolutely fantastic.
Creamy and rich. Fruit forward and complex. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant and extracted

I've had a few vintages of this Second Growth Sauternes, and this 2014 is beautiful. Not as rich as the 2019 vintage, but just as gorgeous.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years.

Wine Enthusiasts 95 points.

Good by itself as a dessert, and will pair nicely with blue cheese.

A blend of 90% Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.

14% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

9.1

Vintage 2020 | if all generic Bordeaux was at this level, there was no problem wathsoever. Strict when popped and poured. But with a day (or two) for what is left in the bottle it’s so comforting and velvety. Paired with old sheep’s cheese. — 5 months ago

8.9

Vintage 2022 | this is the cuvée Heritage with barrel aging | expressive with a grapefruit expression in smell, nice spicyness and vibrant taste with good acidity. The vintners were winemakers of the year in Bordeaux 2024 by Guide Hachette. — a year ago
