From a small commune in Graves bordering Sauternes, this noble sweet wine features a blend of 90% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle. As botrytis developed in the vineyard late in the 2010 growing season, the 50-year-old vines were harvested in 3-4 passes depending on the vineyard block. The wine was bottled after spending 12-14 months in French oak. With a gently sweet 70g/l of residual sugar, the wine displays a fresh floral nose with honeyed orange peel flavors echoing quince and spice. This adds up to a smashing value for a 750ml bottle of quality Bordeaux dessert wine! At very least, this is a crowd pleaser when you want to run interference on your expensive Sauternes bottles when the relatives are over.
