Few places seem to posses the divinely ordained right to produce Bordeaux’s other iconic export, Sauternes, quite like Clos Haut-Peyaguey. Across 12 hectares of plateau-topping Premier Cru Classé vineyard, Semillon (and a smidge of Sauvignon) grapes patiently wait out summer for the noble rot to set in. We’re talking about botrytis, of course. Once it does, the sweetest grapes are handpicked for vinification before being sent for a French oak siesta. The result is one of the world’s most revered sweet white wines. Unctuous and syrypy; floral and fruity; jammy and spicy: trés magnifique!

This delicious wine presents a deep yellow color with orangey glints. The bouquet is rich with fruit aromas, ripe fruit, and floral scents, particularly white flowers, and hints of honey. On the palate, it is oily and voluptuous, yet well-balanced with good acidity. The finish is long, featuring toasty notes that add complexity to the overall experience.
