Seductive. Picked just before the Yquem harvest, ripe grapes on the cusp of noble rot, delivering crisp acidity and juicy fruit, a voluptuous mid palate, and a touch of bitterness at the finish, linking back to Yquem. An abundance of citrus, apricot, exotic fruits; just picked herbs with an underlying salinity. 6 g/l residual sugar.

Gorgeous fresh aromas of white peach and pear on the nose with bright elderflower freshness. Clean and pure. Hints of citrus lemon and some toffee cinder. Instantly alive and so focussed on the palate, this is vibrant and sharp with the acidity that gives a real kick. But this slowly expands in the mouth, adding layers of complexity and richness as well as an invigorating mouthwatering aspect. Just utterly gorgeous, a really soft oiliness that is reminiscent of Sauternes with enticing elements of bitter orange and grapefruit skin. Ends a touch salty which I also adore. A funfair in a glass. A wine to sit with and just enjoy each of the aspects - saltiness, sweetness, bitterness and freshness. I love it. What more could you want in a glass of wine? 3.15pH. 6g/L residual sugar.
