A stunning dessert wine, which shares many of the qualities of a top Sauternes (the winemaker was particularly animated about the 2021 vintage). The sweet apricot preserve and lemon curd flavours are given lift and dimension by notes of lime zest, saffron, honeysuckle and flint, keeping your palate interested as the waves of nectar-like fruit envelop your tastebuds. 12% alc.

The Wine Advocate: "The 2021 Monbazillac from Tirecul La Gravière is utterly charming, presenting a fresh, complex bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, apricot, peach, jasmine and vanilla pod. Round and supple, it’s moderately weighted and perfectly balanced, exuding charm with a fresh, mineral and elegantly iodine-tinged finish. Boasting stunning aging potential, this wine is one of my favorites." 95+ points
