Domaine Sigalas
La Sémillante Bordeaux Semillon
2015 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%.

Oct 8th, 2024A 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.
