Identity
Rare and prestigious, Sélections de Grains Nobles are obtained by harvesting grapes affected by "noble rot", Botrytis Cinerea. The concentration makes the identity of the grape variety more discreet, to the benefit of exceptional power, complexity and length on the palate. These vintages are produced on average once a decade.
Winemaking
Harvest on October 17, 2017. Very gentle pressing of botrytized whole grapes. Strict settling to guarantee the clarity and purity of the juice. Long alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats, followed by aging on fine lees for more than 6 months.
Eye
Golden yellow color, with beautiful legs testifying to its richness.
Nose
Fruity, aromas of rose and exotic fruits. Notes of candied fruits such as Mirabelle plum and yellow peach.
Palate
Full and balanced, with notes of vanilla, caramel, honey and very ripe yellow fruit. Long and slightly spicy finish.
