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.
