Is Grand Mère Sémillon a good wine?
Tasting profile
A bold, long-lasting Semillon from old vines, showing citrus peel, mandarin, quince and stone fruit alongside honeycomb on the nose and an earthy, herbaceous undercurrent. Soft, rich and creamy in the mouth with exotic spice and an oaked-Chardonnay-like texture that carries through a balanced finish.
Synthesized from 91Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Earthy dry nose - but a beautiful sweet balanced pallet that has citrus notes (makes me think of mature mandarin) with an earthy undertone that is carried through the tail.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
