The palate brings mango, papaya and mandarin, wrapped in a velvety, almost creamy texture; bright acidity keeps the sweetness poised and the finish long, with lingering notes of honeyed, ripe fruit. Properly stored, the wine has the structure to develop further over many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe estate’s vineyards lie in Sauternes, where autumn mists from the Ciron and Garonne rivers encourage the development of noble rot, concentrating sugars and flavours in the grapes. Sauternes is typically made from carefully selected, botrytised fruit, harvested in successive passes as berries reach the desired ripeness. The blend includes Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, with blue cheese, foie gras or fruit-led desserts such as pear tart.
