80% Semillon, 20% Sauvignon Blanc made from the younger vines at Ch. d’Arche. The wine is of good rather than great quality - lovely pineapple, apricot, home, ginger and beeswax, candied lemon and a hint of saffron but only with medium intensity and it’s a bit lacking acidity so quite soft on the palate

A tad too sweet. Perfectly solid dessert wine. Some dried apricot, decent acidity.

Subtil flavours. Missing some acids. Pineapple and honey. Sweet, but not very sweet.
