2015 was an excellent vintage in Sauternes, as it was across the Bordeaux region. Swirl this golden liquid in the glass and breathe in aromas of apricot, orange and baked fruits. There's a luscious honeyed texture, and a good structure from the 18 months in French oak. Fresh and elegant, despite the 127g/l of residual sugar.
