Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Blend of 83% Semillon, 12% Sauv Blanc & 5% Muscadelle, golden medium lemon color with a complex botrytis bouquet of ripe sweet stone fruits, lemongrass and sweet floral perfume spice. On the palate peach, apricot and honey flavors adding in some nutty sweet oak encompassed by complex botrytis, "noble rot" fruit. Long finish ending with sweet creamy character. Very Nice!

NO acidity.

Enjoyed this over the course of several days starting Christmas evening. Just beautiful...the ripest Red Haven Peach followed by creme brûlée. Long seductive finish. Left me wanting more.

Voluptuous Sauternes, misses a bit of acid. Overpowering and missing some delicacy. Still great Sauternes, pale for 13 years of aging.

Like standing in an apricot orchard during harvest. Pure ripe apricot, pear blossom, cotton candy, bitter almond, peach liquer. Satiny texture floats over the tongue and mouth. So bright. Serious acid makes this weightless and beautiful.

From a 375. Night cap to a fun evening. Nice fruit but represents the hot vintage with only light acidity.

This is getting really yummy with age!!! So much more interesting than when young.

NYE pairing

A few days later...and the remains of the Sauternes was still liquid gold. Love how this wine holds on and keeps on delivering.

A double 100. Delivered on the scores and the notoriety. Served with pumpkin soufflé and was magical combination. Almost syrup like in viscosity. Honey. Tangerine. Chestnuts.
