Description
Sweet wine The grapes are harvested by hand in successive selections, so that only botrytised grapes and grapes withered by the wind and sun, known as "passerillage", are picked. Passerillage allows the acidity of the grapes to be retained while preserving their sugar content. Vinification and ageing in barrels for 24 months.
A beautiful golden yellow colour, with a powerful nose revealing aromas of candied fruit, apricots, oranges and figs. Powerful on the palate, full-bodied without heaviness.
Will keep for several decades.
