Mellow sweetness. Slightest hint of bitter botrytis. Drink up next two years, I think. — 6 months ago

Vintage 2019 was made out of 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Vigorously lemon peel notes and yellow apple, on the dry side and crispy finish. Highly approachable and medium body. — 2 months ago
2017 vintage. 100% Sémillon. From the Dubordieu family. Not as complex as its stable mate Doisy-Daene, but fine value anyway. The typical "rôti" botrytis aromas, combined with pineapple, honey, and caramel. Good acidity, balancing the sweet dried fruits,roasted pineapple, brown sugar, and caramel flavours. Abv. 13,5%. — 10 months ago
Drank 4/26/18 at a tasting event.
2nd wine of Climens. Nose of pineapple and honeyed apricots, with some slight volatility that blows off after a few minutes. Flavors of pineapple and some light honey, without the depth or richness of the Climens. Decent wine, but would vastly prefer the Doisy Vedrines for around the same price.

Awesome Sauternes. Definitely on the lighter and slightly less sweet side, I think this is Barsac even though it's labeled Sauternes on the front. (the cork and back label say Barsac). Orange marmalade, ginger, honey, poached peaches and pears, and a bit of baking spice. Very rich but not too cloying as far as Sauternes goes. Medium to medium + body, medium + acid, plenty sweet as you'd expect. Wonderful soft texture. Amazing alongside the post-dinner cheese plate. — 7 years ago
