This sweet wine, crafted from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, captivates with its notes of honey, citrus and vanilla, aged in barrels. Unctuous and mineral, it pairs beautifully with foie gras or fruity desserts.
A historic Sauternes estate, rooted in the prestigious 1855 classification, where tradition and innovation combine to craft exceptional sweet wines.
- Terroir : Graves soils of sand and clay, within the Sauternes appellation, where the humid climate encourages noble rot, conferring a unique concentration to the grapes.
- Vinification : A meticulous elaboration in oak barrels, combining natural fermentation and extended aging to reveal balance and complexity.

To the eye – A golden, dense and luminous robe with amber highlights, heralding an unctuous and generous texture.
On the nose – Aromas of candied orange cream, acacia honey and fresh citrus zests, lifted by a subtle hint of vanilla and an almost saline mineral note.
On the palate – A silky and rich attack, where flavors of candied fruits and fresh butter unfold, supported by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality, leading to a long and harmonious finish.
