Lemon-gold in colour, this rolls across the tongue with luscious notes apricot preserve, crystalised orange peel, lemon tart, honey-drizzled peaches and tangerine acidity. The palate is wonderfully poised, a benchmark Sauternes featuring teetering between opulence and refreshment, perfect for drinking with thin slices of Parma ham or roast chicken with crispy skin, as recommended by Alexandre de Lur Saluces, the former owner of Chateau d’Yquem. 13% alc.
