Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Wow! Sweet orchard fruit, honey, and botrytis notes. Beauitful wine with great weight and body. Would complement just about any rich dessert you can imagine. 94 points. Tasted May 2015 (375ml bottle) - Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
This second growth (2er cru) French dessert wine is a traditional Bordeaux blend of semillon and sauvignon blanc grapes. The botrytis notes come through on the palate with mouth-brightening acidity. - Community Wine Reviews
