    Sémillon dominates this rich wine. Spice and honey are balanced by ripe peach and apricot flavors. The acidity cuts right through to give an almost crisp character to this sweet wine. It will develop quickly, so drink from late 2017.

    This wine is light, with touches of honey and dried fruit. Oranges, marmalade and dried sultanas are balanced by the acidity of this already attractive Sauternes. Drink now, but better from 2016.
