2014 vintage. No wood ageing ( like their cousins at Château Gilette, Sauternes). Mainly Sémillon, with a bit of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. The pale golden colour still looks very fresh. Delicate and refined. Pineapple, roasted pecan nuts and lime. Like the 2014 Sauternes vintage, there is a nice acidity that balances the sweetness. Good almond length. Abv. 12,5%. This is still available at the estate for 11,50 euro!

Vintage 2011 - AOC with affordable and interesting wines to partner with desserts. Good concentration, apricots, vivid wine. At restaurant Halvemaan.

Pretty simple sweet wine here, but certainly well balanced and ticks plenty of boxes.
