These wines made from single berry selection of overripe and shrivelled grapes picked one by one and produced in the greatest years only. The action of noble rot (botrytis cinerea) gives them an almost unlimited ability to age. They are part of the elite of the greatest wines in France.
TASTING NOTES
The wine has a tremendously deep gold colour, slightly coppery, yet with some lemon yellow hints that reveal its youth, and it clings lusciously to the glass.
The bouquet is a concentration of fully-ripe and over-ripe fruit, blood orange, Corsican citron, liquorice stick, acacia blossom, all overlaid with enough honeyed botrytis and royal jelly to be worthy of the finest sweet wines of the world.
On the palate, this liqueur wine is gustatory rapture, velvety, suave and full of irresistible charm, with a fine backbone of acidity that gives it harmony and staying power. It has a hugely long finish.
This is a wine to drink on its own or with a terrine of foie gras, with almond cakes and honey.
Serve it at 6°C and keep it for 15 to 30 years.
