Domaine Sigalas
La Sémillante Bordeaux Semillon
Bordeaux, France
2018 vintage. 100% Sémillon, aged in barriques for 8 months. Deep yellow colour. This really looks, smells, and tastes like dry Sauternes. Exotic fruits, lemon confit, crème anglaise,honey and flowers. Intense, powerful taste with exotic fruits, a round mouthfeel, and a subtle bitterness in the long finish. An unusual, exuberant wine that might not please everyone, but a great culinary challenge for hobby cooks and real chefs alike. Abv. 14%.

May 27th, 20252015 vintage. Sauternes will have to focus more and more on dry wines if they want to survive, but I strongly believe in the potential for dry white wines in this region. This is 100% Sémillon made by Sauternes Cru Classé Sigalas Rabaud. Deep yellow. Intense perfume of pineapple, flowers, honey and a hint of brioche. Powerful taste with exotic dried fruit, rather low-acid but well-balanced. Some residual sugar is obvious in the finish, but it works well for this exuberant style. Abv. 14,5%.

A rare 100% semillon but this doesn't make it particularly particular in taste. Perfectly palatable but for the price it's underwhelming for the winery's best dry white.
