This VERY sweet wine has many fruit notes with a strong peach finish. It's sweetness kills any chance of complexity and might serve as a dessert substitute.

Honeysuckle and ripe melon on the nose. Pineapple upside down cake. Good acidity. Had with Juniper fried chicken (with hot honey).

Extremely funny part about this one is that most people have never had or do not like sweet wines. It seems to me though they don’t know how to drink them very well. At this party we had a mixture of hard and soft cheeses, bread, and sausage. Showing people that a small sip of this wine combined with some of those flavors produced something much more interesting and tolerable feels like a big coup on my part. My guests went from not wanting to wanting another bottle of this wine. Honeyed apricots and dried peach flavors. Kind of dusty in a raw honey kind of way. Excellent second label of Chateau Sigalas-Rabaud.

A deep golden hue with honey, peaches, and floral notes on the nose. This is a decidedly standard Sauternes, which is to say it’s wonderful. Sweet, almost to the point of excess but not quite, with something of an elegant mouthfeel. A little spice on the mid palate. Oranges, peach cobbler, apricots, white pepper, and honey. Long finish with even more sweetness. Not the most complex Sauternes I’ve ever had but who cares, this is too much fun to drink.

Two years after the first trial, this wine has lost a little bit of fresh youth but turned into mature flavours of semillion. The acidity through the pineapple has changed into more of a ripe melon and honey with hints of nectarine. This second wine from Sigalas-Rabau is still delicious liquid gold that goes well with fresh fois gras and caramalized pears and hazelnuts.
