Tasting notes
Luminous golden hue with amber highlights, this Sauternes opens with lush aromas of candied apricot, orange blossom, and honeyed peach, underpinned by notes of saffron, toasted brioche, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine delivers a beautifully balanced interplay of rich sweetness and vibrant acidity, with flavors of quince, dried mango, and crème brûlée. The finish is long, elegant, and beautifully persistent with a signature botrytis complexity.

About this wine
Château Tuyttens produces a classic Sauternes, the sweet wine appellation of Bordeaux, blending Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and a touch of Muscat. Sauternes relies on botrytis-affected grapes to concentrate sugar and flavour, giving these wines their signature richness.
Expect honeyed apricot and citrus peel with a viscous, luscious texture balanced by acidity. Serve at 10-12°C with foie gras, Roquefort or blue cheese, or alongside crème brûlée and fruit-based desserts for a classic pairing on board.
