No real notes. Crazy dinner party with old friends. So complex. Apricot, earth, honey, balsa wood. Delicious.

Just beginning the shift from deep lemon yellow into medium gold color with all its attendant development of aroma and flavor. Exceptional balance of sweetness and acidity and yellow and orange fruit: with apricot, caramelized pineapple, lemon and a beguiling thread of mineral and saffron notes. Great finesse. Not overly sweet, just classic balance and a very long finish with vibrant acidity

Vintage 2016 / Pampering ourselves with a Saturday lunch in the garden: pumpkin soup, good bread, ripe Roquefort and ripe pears. This Sauternes from sauvignon blanc, semillon and muscadelle is obviously very young (first bottle from my box). Shy smell with light impression of apricot and honey. But amazing taste already, perfect balanced wine!
