TASTING NOTES 
The late harvest gives Sauterne & Barsac their absolutely unique characteristics. 
A golden color that deepens with age to that of antique gold. 
A bouquet of tropical fruit, honey, linden flowers and acacia with hints of almonds and spice. 
Especially round, well-balanced taste which develops into a full long aftertaste.
