Hachette
"A delicious liquoreux, fresh without heaviness".
"Remarkable, the 2021 of this vintage narrowly missed out on the Favorite award. Its successor, like the 2018, was awarded it. Sémillon (80%) and Sauvignon, no Muscadelle this year, a rare and capricious grape variety. Fermented and aged in new barrels, this deep yellow Monbazillac only reveals its ageing through a few hints of vanilla, which sprinkle overripe, candied fruit, where lemon and tangerine add a tonic edge. Round and candied, in unison with the nose, the richness and concentration on the palate will see this liquoreux through the decade". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)
