Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Incredible, pure and intense yet also light and almost airy.

The 75' is beautiful. Youthful. Pure pleasure!!!

Magnum

Perfect with some delicious foie and pomegranate.

43 y old delicious sweet and balanced

Vieil or
Nez curry caramel et oxydation naissante
Bouche plein mais un peu molle et sans le rebond attendu
Finale sur des note mêlant exotisme caramel un peu floue

1975. Parfaite condition et à son apogée grand Sauternes!

1975. Nutty!!!

So it turns out I just need my sauternes to be 40 years old...at least with Rieussec! The usual cloying sweetness has faded away, revealing bright lemon, burnt honey, and beautiful white flower flavors that last seemingly forever.

Bugger me. Thank you Ian Kelly for hosting.
