Vintage 2013 | Love this. Frivolous. Hint of honey. Loads of apricot. Balanced. Vibrant.

Hint of fruit, petrol, citrus. Rich sweet and great for dessert.

At Picasso, they paired this beautiful Sauternes with Foie Gras - pure bliss.

Great value Sauternes. Fruity, pear, vanilla and oak, some lovely honey and apricot, and just a bit of funk and minerality. Fantastic.

Nice botrytis and balance. Not Chateau d'Yquem, but delicious

Honey, apricot and peach nose. Follows through to the palate. Lacks enough acid to rate higher.
