Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, sweet
A classic Sauternes made from the appellation's traditional trio of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle, this wine delivers apricot and honey richness balanced by the lively acidity that keeps Sauternes from feeling cloying. Expect the waxy, lanolin texture typical of botrytis-affected Sémillon alongside brighter citrus and stone fruit notes from the Sauvignon Blanc. It's an honest, approachable expression of the appellation — generous and sweet without pretension.
Serving: Serve at 8–10 °C.
