The 2001 Doisy Daëne Sauternes is a perfect match to apple crumble and double cream. This example shows lovely hints of marmalade and citrus on a palate that is sweet but not cloying.

Château Marsau's 2018 Marsau (BIO ORGANIC) Francs-Côtes de Bordeaux is a true testament to the terroir of Bordeaux. This beautifully crafted wine showcases the region's unique climate and soil with every sip. The deep ruby hue entices the senses and leads to a bouquet of blackcurrant, plum, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, the wine reveals luscious layers of dark berries, complemented by hints of vanilla and spice from its time in oak barrels. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a touch of minerality on the palate. This 2018 vintage truly captures the essence of Château Marsau's commitment to organic and sustainable winemaking practices. A perfect pairing with red meat dishes or a selection of aged cheeses. Undoubtedly, this wine will continue to evolve gracefully for years to come.

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!
