Is Sauternes a good wine?
Tasting profile
A sweet Sauternes leading with peach, apricot, and honey on the nose and palate, carried by a buttery, light-to-full body and balanced by just enough acidity to keep the finish clean. Reviewers describe it as rich, complex, and aromatic without the saccharine bitterness that can mar lesser examples.

What reviewers say
“Best wine I drank all Christmas 2017. No hint of that saccharine bitterness sometimes found in lesser Sauternes. Everything we drank afterwards was an disappointment wonderful!”
