€35.90
(€95.74 L)
Tax included
Lovely rounded honeyed, slightly buttery nose with touches of white peach and white flowers. Very well balanced, great tension and weight in the middle. Honeyed fruits, mango, peach, a touch of brioche and quince. Complex and displaying some admirable levels of botrytis, the finish is viscous and very focused. Great length. Superb!

"One thing is certain: when the reds have a tricky time, the sweet whites tend to be fantastic. This is true in 2007. You must make sure you buy a case of any of these Sauternes -…, Guiraud,…-"

This is going to be great Sauternes. It has all the richness, powered with botrytis, perfumed honey and lemon. Power is the main impression, and the concentration.

Thick and oily, with spicy character and lots of very ripe pineapple and pear flavors. Full-bodied, medium sweet, with a long finish. Layered and concentrated.
