Tasting Note

A bright golden yellow in colour. On the nose aromas of fresh citrus, candied fruit and marmalade leap out of the glass and are married with subtle hints of rye bread spice. The palate is intense and layered, with flavours of dried fig, orange blossom and sweet spice. A mouthwatering acidity perfectly balances the sweetness and carries the flavours onto the remarkably long finish.

Product Notes

Château Laville's Sauternes wine is an absolute marvel of British viticulture. Hailing from South Bordeaux, the divine elixir enchants with its deep golden hue. The symphony of flavours unfurls with intoxicating notes of ripe apricot, candied orange peel and honey, leading to a strikingly balanced and long-lasting finish. This sweet wine is remarkable for its complexity, elegance, and ability to age gracefully. Beyond its richness, Laville Sauternes excels in its vibrant acidity which uplifts the intensity of its sweetness. This wine is a sheer symbol of luxury and is well-appreciated when paired with exquisite dishes or as a standalone savoured sip.
