| This is a full, rich, deep glass of sweet pleasure hits all the right marks. Layers of ripe, fleshy, tropical fruits slathered in honey, along with roasted almonds, vanilla, coconut, candied orange rind, and overripe pineapples from start to finish. |
| | The blend, made up of about two thirds of Semillon and one third of Sauvignon blanc depending on the vintage, is aged for 15 months in oak barrels, 18 months for this 2003 vintage.
This is very sweet and rich on the nose, with toffee, honey, and spices. Full-bodied, and thick honey. Spice, dried apricot, and syrup flavours. Lasts for minutes on the palate. Big botrytis bomb. Love it."

65% Semillon, 35% Sauvignon Blanc.
Chateau Giraud is the only Premier Cru Classe that is situated in the commune of Sauternes itself apart from Chateau dYquem. It is undoubtedly one of the best producers of this famous sweet wine. Full bodied and intense with flavours of baked apples, apricots, vanilla, honey and spice. Lots of botrytis character on the finish.
|
| |
90% Sémillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle.
The palate is well balanced with fine minerality, bright citrus fruit, orange zest, a touch of white peach and apricot, good tension towards the finish with a dash of lemongrass on the aftertaste. There is very good weight and botrytis on this Lafaurie Peyraguey that linger seductively.
|
| | Château Raymond Lafon`s 2009 Sauternes is primarily made from Sémillon, with a smaller percentage of Sauvignon Blanc. The wine displays intense aromas and flavours of honey, dried apricots, candied orange peel, and tropical fruits, along with notes of almonds, saffron, and vanilla. It has a luscious texture, balanced by bright acidity, which keeps the sweetness in check and provides a long, elegant finish. |
| | Flama d'Or Semi Seco Cava is a semi-dry sparkling wine known for its fruity sweetness and fine bubbles. It's made using the traditional method, similar to Champagne, and is often enjoyed with light appetizers, Asian dishes, or desserts. The wine is typically pale lemon-green in color, with aromas of preserved pineapple and anise. |
| | This dessert wine is lusciously sweet and smooth with rich, concentrated aromas of apricots and peaches and notes of orange zest, dried apricot and fig. |
| |
Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Gewürztraminer, and a touch of Riesling.
Complex and elegant aromas blend delicate floral notes with tropical fruit and honey. Flavors of pineapple, ripe peaches, and apricots combine with fresh honey and a hint of crisp mandarin at the finish. A concentrated wine with balanced acidity, freshness, and sweetness.

60% Sémillon and 40% Muscadelle.
Showing quite a bit of botrytis aromas on the nose, nicely compact, with underlying runny honey, citrus and dried sultanas. In the mouth the acidity makes this lip smacking, a lovely tangy grapefruit zip, plentiful citrus, honey and gently creamy finish.
|
| | The nose is intense, aromatic, fruity, as befits an excellent Moscato d'Asti. The notes are textbook: sage, aromatic herbs, peach, passion fruit, but there are also mineral puffs, candied scents, and a slight balsamic note. The sweet and aromatic flavour, in balance with the low alcohol content, and a pleasant freshness. |
| |
78% Orange Muscat and 22% Flora.
It is a sweet wine with roughly 45-110 g/L residual sugar.
It is known for a vibrant, golden colour with aromatic notes of orange blossom, honey, musk, and spice. The palate features luscious flavours of ripe apricot, peach, and marmalade, balanced by a fresh and tangy citrus acidity.
|
| | Honeyed floral and spicy aromas with apricot and exotic fruit flavours. Well rounded and balanced. Classical Sauternes. |
| | Delightful on the nose, with a rich, clean, and pleasant aromatic profile, featuring notes of raisins, candied fruit, and walnut, followed by a delicate fragrance reminiscent of chestnut honey. Harmonious and velvety on the palate, very balanced with the sweetness and warmth of the alcohol in perfect harmony. Very long and delightful finish. |
| | The palate is rewarded with rich flavours of toasted nuts and caramel, underpinned by a charming note of sweet figs. This full-bodied vin santo boasts an attractively sweet finish that lingers, guaranteed to enchant any dessert wine lover. It is an admirable choice to pair with traditional Italian desserts or enjoy on its own as a delightful conclusion to a meal. |
