Tasting Profile & Winemaking

Predominantly Sémillon affected by noble rot (Botrytis Cinerea), this wine captures the essence of the Sauternes terroir-rich clay-gravel soils and the unique microclimate that encourages perfect noble rot development.

• Color: Brilliant pale gold, deepening to amber with age.
• Nose: An intense and charming bouquet featuring layers of passion fruit, candied apricot, orange zest, and delicate hints of acacia honey and spice.
• Palate: The attack is unctuous and rich. The wine’s inherent concentration is beautifully balanced by a vibrant, zesty acidity, delivering remarkable freshness. The finish is long, refined, and persistent with sweet spice notes.
