A very interesting nose, almost petrol, almost the nobel rot of a sauterne... but oh that flavor... plump yellow raisins and figs in a luscious body, sweet without being syrupy. Yum! — 2 years ago

FINALLY turning the Corner and some secondary elements emerging like an aged Sauterne, dried apricots, nuts but still very restrained sweetness . . pairs well with the cheeses, Marcona almonds , prosciutto . . will try again tomorrow with some Foir Gras torchon . . — 6 years ago

From a half bottle. Well aged and nice balance for a sauterne. Never felt overdone — 7 years ago

I can only say that this pairs nicely with seared fois gras. Sauterne isn’t really in my wheelhouse. — 8 years ago

Hot damn this was a fun wine. Sommelier said that this was the king of sweet wines in France before Sauternes took over the role. Light gold color with hints of elderflower and honey. Somm and I agreed that this was like a sauterne that wants to be a Alsace Riesling. Very good — 8 years ago

Tasted in May 2016: Bursts with golden color and Sauterne-like aromas of honey, hazelnut, golden raisins, baked apples, and white flowers. Almost New World flavor except balanced by minerals that hold the fruit at bay. — 9 years ago

Guys, if you gave this Sauterne a low rating, because it is cheap, not famous, or because you got it from world market, I beg you to reconsider again. She is surprisingly good, in terms of her structure and dense flavors. The nose is a bit weak and the taste is a bit too zesty and bittersweet. But she had no problem standing up to compare with high acidity end Sauternes. — 10 years ago

Mon dieu. Although tested after midnight on midsummer’s eve alongside a Sauterne, this wine is so fresh and vibrant, deep dark dried fruits spiced up with some younger unripe ones, and honey, wax, and marmelade. — 5 years ago

Not their best Sauterne but still nice supple white from Guiraud. 50:50 Sauvignon blanc: semillion nicely balanced but some hits of Sauternes on the nose. Bang for the buck. — 8 years ago

Mint and pear on the nose. This reminds me of a Sauterne. Syrupy mouthfeel, but the orange high notes and the acidity at the end prevent this from being cloying. — 8 years ago

Rich amber color. Nose of honey and sweet spices, almost like a Sauterne. But mouth is bone dry. — 9 years ago

Almost a sauterne, but without the depth or viscosity. Still, nice dessert wine, even if it’s a bit too alcohol forward — 9 years ago

Dark, rich garnet in color. That "noble rot" sauterne smell with lots of savory aromas. Dark fruit and lots of herbs on the palate, with lots of tannins that were pretty smooth and only mildly grippy (after 2.5 hours decanting!). Taking a bottle home to lay down for 6-7 you years, as suggested by sommelier Michael Kwas. Wonderfully paired with lamb ribeye, ratatouille, new potatoes, braised lamb belly, herbs de provence, red wine jus; softened the tannins and brought out the herbs in the wine.

Good dessert wine.. lots of apricots, white peaches, a little lemon zest ... not as viscous as a Sauterne or as sweet... nicely balanced! — 9 years ago
