From the Appellation's finest terroirs, this Sauternes is expressive, rich with notes of white flowers, caramelized apple, spices and viennoiserie. Racy on the palate, it offers fine balance with a powerful, slightly minty finish, accompanied by fine concentration. A must-try!

The fruit is so present that you feel as if you're biting into the wine. An excellent Sauternes at a very affordable price.
