Tawny orange in the glass — dried honey, nutmeg and crème brûlée on the nose, blossoming beautifully. Viscous on the palate with vibrant mandarin, dried pineapple and botrytis richness. Peach flower, exotic fruit, mango and honey with spice, finishing fresh and fruity with citrus and iodine notes. The 2001 is one of the finest vintages from this Premier Grand Cru Classé Sauternes — great cohesion and a long tail of spicy fruit on the finish.
