Maison Sichel Sauternes, France.
A tiny parcel of the surplus production from one of the most famous of all Sauternes vineyards. The Chateau does not make a second sweet wine, so this is made with the same noble grapes as the Grand Vin - which are picked individually on 7-10 separate occasions as the botrytis sets in and are then aged in oak at the Chateau.
Pale gold with an extraordinary complex nose of summer fruits, peaches and apricots. Rich and concentrated. Drinks exceptionally well now and will last for at least another 10 years.
20% Sauvignon Blanc, 80% Semillon.
37,5cl.
