2008 Vintage - Solid Sauternes, especially for the price.

This delivered the goods ! Half as apéritif and another half two weeks later on a vacuvin closure. Excellent Sauternes on the more elegant side. Plenty of years ahead, you can barely tell the age.

2008. Fantastic value in Sauternes!
We adjourned to the Cellar to continue our evening out and this delicious wine helped immensely 😄

The 2008 is rich, complex, and sweet without being overwhelming.

I got some botrytis but not overwhelming. Yellow apricots, tangerines, lemon liquor, and a dash of ginger beer. The honeyed element is above average thickness, the aroma is a bit wild but still elegant. There's still moderate acidity to it and I think this could last at least another 5 years
