Ulysse, Sauternes, Bordeaux, France

This will go on sale at the end of November, just in time for Christmas. Sold in bottles or half bottles, it's a blend of three vintages, 2014, 2015 and 2016, and is made by a top Sauternes producer whose name the Society can't reveal. It's not the most complex Sauternes you'll ever try, but you can't dispute the value. Creamy, warm orange citrus fruit, 112g/L residual sugar, and the acidity to keep it fresh for some time to come.
