This is a pretty classic Bordeaux sweet blend of 80% Semillon and 10% Muscadelle, from the adjoining region of Bergerac. It was fermented and matured in cask for 22 months, so has had expensive winemaking lavished on it, and to good effect. The bouquet is aromatically spicy, with cinnamon-infused pineapple and tangerine fruits. It’s not over-complex, which is part of its appeal.
