Notes from critics
This is an exceptional botrytis-affected dessert wine from the famed Sauternes region of Bordeaux. Coming in at about 20% of the price of neighboring Château d'Yquem, this is a tremendous value. This should accompany your holiday dessert table or other special occasion.
98
This is beautifully concentrated and full of great richness yet seems closed at the moment. Its apricot jelly and dried fruit flavors, acidity and botrytis are in perfect balance, developing intensity as it opens. A full, generous wine with a great future.
97
A stellar dessert wine that delivers wave after wave of piecrust, dried pineapple, warm marmalade, singed almond, glazed peach and apricot flavors, with a hint of brioche. Despite the heft, this has a breezy feel within, thanks to riveting acidity buried deep on the finish.
