93 points Wine Enthusiast: "The 2020 Clos Floridène Blanc is laced with apricot, dried flowers, mint and a touch of spice. Light on its feet and airy, the 2020 is decidedly understated. Today it comes across as a bit light, especially on the mid-palate. *Editors' Choice* (RV)" (07/2022) 91 points Wine Spectator: "Very focused, with a streamlined set of lemon peel, fleur de sel and verbena notes that are long and finely tuned through the finish. (JM, Web-2022)" 90 points James Suckling: "This has aromas of lemongrass, grapefruit, cream and fresh pears....

96 points James Suckling: "The dried-mango and pineapple character is so delicious in this wine. It’s full-bodied and medium-sweet, with a pretty density and a fruity finish. Wonderful balance to this super Sauternes. This is a little in reserve now, with so much for the future." (10/2014) 96 points Wine Spectator: "A big, broad, powerful style, with piecrust, roasted almond and hazelnut cream notes framing the core of apricot, creamed peach and dried mango. Picks up extra fig and pear details through the toasty finish. Needs a bit of time to finish so...

95 points Wine Advocate: "Though Sigalas-Rabaud 2010 was extremely promising out-of-barrel, I never expected that it would trump d’Yquem in a blind tasting once in bottle. It has an engaging, pure and lifted bouquet with scents of lemon curd, honey, ripe oranges and quince that are extremely well-defined. The palate is well-defined with a fine line of acidity, crisp mineralite and tension. This is very composed and tightly wound, a Sauternes probably built for the long-term and not giving too much away now. Yet the class is already tangible. This is one ...

91-93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Based on 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon, the 2021 Clos des Lunes Lune D'Argent Blanc is a hidden little gem of a white that readers will love. Lots of citrus, lemon curd, white flowers, and rocky minerality define the bouquet, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with bright acidity, good depth of fruit, and outstanding length." (08/2022) 91-92 points James Suckling: "A fresh and bright Lune d’Argent with wet-stone, green-apple, lemon and pineapple notes. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and focused, stony character."

94 points James Suckling: "A bright and fresh semillon with sliced green apples, pears and mineral aromas and flavors. Some aniseed. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity. Real Aussie semillon. So fresh and beautiful. Tangy and driven. Subtle. These are grapes from vineyards planted in sand in 1890. Drink or hold. Screw cap." (11/2022)

93-95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Barrel Sample. A rich, complete wine, this has beautiful acidity as well as the most intense botrytis character. It’s a wine with long-term aging potential, ripe and already full in the mouth. (RV)" (03/2014) 92-94 points Int'l Wine Cellar: "Bright, pale yellow-gold. Reticent but extremely pure, floral aromas of fresh tropical fruit salad, sweet spices and vanilla, lifted by mineral and lemony botrytis nuances. Wonderfully honeyed, pristine tropical and fresh citrus fruit flavors are complemented by clove and nutmeg. H...

Deep gold, big, sweet and rich, with gobs of concentrated fig, brown sugar, butterscotch and oak flavor. A knockout." (12/1988) 92 points Wine Advocate: "Light golden with just the slightest tint of green, the 1983 Rieussec, from an excellent year for Sauternes, is certainly one of this property's greatest wines.

Very sweet, rich, full-on unctuous and densely laden in the mouth, the palate possesses almost electric freshness supporting layer after layer of dried fruit and nut notions, finishing very long. It won’t cellar for as long as some of the 2009s, but this sure is delicious right now. (LPB)" (03/2019) 95-98 points Vi...

One of Sauternes original estates, Château de Carmes de Rieussec occupies 227 acres of prime territory in the heart of Bordeaux's sweet wine country. The 2019 vintage was one of the warmest in recent memory in Bordeaux, yet the Sémillon at Rieussec still developed ample botrytis to yield an ultra-aromatic and age-worthy Sauternes. After pressing, the wine was fermented and kept on the lees with regular stirring until December, after which time it was aged in oak barrels for roughly 12 months before bottling.

100 points Jeb Dunnuck: "A brilliant sweet wine that tops out on my scale, the 2001 Château D'Yquem is now fully mature yet still vibrant and pure, with an incredible nose of honeyed marmalade, caramelized tropical fruits, rising bread, marzipan, and lavender. Incredibly complex, full-bodied, and unctuous on the palate, it's one of those rare wines that can deliver incredible richness and decadence while staying pure, light on its feet, and perfectly balanced. A wine that every wine lover should taste once in their life, it should be just about immortal....

Full-bodied, with great density and power, yet balanced and refined." (05/2012) 100 points Wine Spectator: "Like lemon curd on the nose, turning to honey and caramel.

Decanter: "Green apple, pear and white peach aromas on the nose. The palate is bright and zesty, alive and vibrant with succulent but also softly sweet lemon flavours, assisted by quite mineral-edged apricot and peach. This has a cool element to it, the refreshing side really prominent. It's not too showy, but refined and easy to drink. (GH)" (03/2022) James Suckling: "This has aromas of lime zest, green mango, basil and white grapefruit. It’s medium-bodied with vibrant tropical and citrus fruit. Tasty fresh mango notes.

Haut Charmes is a very special Sauternes bottling, made from the younger vines of one of the most famous properties in the Sauternes region. While we aren't allowed to actually reveal the source, it's safe to say its location in the Ciron Valley exposes the Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon fruit to conditions perfect for the development of botrytis. Charming, elegant and an exceptional value for what's in the bottle. A rich wine with fine acidity, the 2017 has wonderful pineapple and coconut aromas that carry through onto the lush palate. A stunning wine jus...

99 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2016 Chateau D’Yquem is pure magic and dessert wines don’t get much better. Offering a pale gold color as well as a blockbuster bouquet of honeyed tangerines, tart apricots, liquid rocks, white flowers, and honeysuckle, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, an opulent texture, vibrant acidity, and again, an incredible sense of minerality, despite having no shortage of sweetness or richness. The 2016 is a classic blend of 75% Sémillon and 25% Sauvignon that hit 14.2% alcohol with 135 grams of residual sugar. It’s alread...

90 points Vinous: "Winemaker Sandrine Garbay told me that for the 2000 Y de Yquem, the 50% Sémillon was picked with intentional over-ripeness and just a touch of botrytis. It has a fine, slightly nutty bouquet that is curiously quite Burgundian in style. Lovely balance on the palate, it offers dried honey, white tea and an Alsace-like personality. Just a touch of oxidation here, very focused with a tang of lemongrass on the finish. Very fine.

Less expressive on the nose than some wines in this selection, but opens up beautifully in the glass. A rich, barrel-fermented character, though it finishes bright and crisp.

The fine bouquet offers up a stylish mélange of pineapple, honey, orange, soil tones and buttery oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, crisp and shows fine mid-palate depth, with fine framing acids, impressive complexity and very good length and grip on the finish. 2002 is hardly a legendary vintage for Sauternes, but the 2002 Doisy-Védrines is a delicious bottle for drinking now or over...

95 points Vinous: "The 2020 Sémillon El Enemigo from Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo hails from a 70-year-old vineyard. Aged with flor for a year before 15 months in barrels, it’s a golden yellow in the glass. On the nose there are notes of flint, honey, a little hazelnut and cashew nut underneath the flor-based aromas of white flowers and pear. In the mouth, however, it’s broad with a good, voluminous flow and a clove backdrop. Intense and creamy with a sustained layer of salinity, the stylistic acrobatics have opened up new possibilities for the varietal. (JH) "...

95 points Wine Advocate: "One of the finest blends of its kind, the La Proportion Dorée (Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and a dollop of Muscadelle) reminds me of a California version of the limited production Château Haut-Brion Blanc, even though that wine has less Semillon and no Muscadelle. The 2013 Proprietary White La Proportion Dorée is composed of 67% Semillon, 31% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle from 29-year-old, dry-farmed vineyards. There is only a single cluster per shoot, which results in tiny yields. The wine is barrel-fermented with frequent le...

In 1855, château Romer du Hayot was awarded the rank of second cru classé, not long after the Hayot family took over the property in 1851. The du Hayot family is proud that their ownership of the estate predates the origin of Sauternes wines which were initially produced in the mid-19th century. The fifth generation, Catherine Boyer du Hayot carries on the family tradition, as the estate continues to craft wines of the finest quality.
