This is a beautiful wine that's sweet but certainly not cloying. The color is deep golden and the nose offers dried apricots and honey. The sweetness is more pronounced on the palate, but a zippy acidity balances the experience perfectly. The wine finishes long and satisfyingly.

So botrytised! Crystallized apricot, honey, musky florals. So intense but surprisingly lively in the mouth. Almost overwhelming in its intensity.

Medium golden yellow. Thick nose with honeysuckle, honey, and some white flowers. Medium acidity (5.5/10) with a medium body. Nice level of syrupiness without being over the top. Some layers of flowers, honey and a touch of spices. Insane value for a Sauternes! Drink till 2022.

Served with coconut creme brûlée. Shazam.

Apricots, peaches, honeysuckle, lillies, roses, white chocolate- vanilla- syrup.

Nice dessert wine after a charcuterie dinner. Golden yellow in color, sweet honey and citrus flavors.

Holds its own with dessert, rich honey and apricots. Yum.

We bled for it and yum.
