BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane: Super-rich, intense, noble Sauternes, less elegant oak than some others but perfect concentration of texture and complexity in the finish: great wine. 17.5

Thierry Desseauve: Very gold color, honey and candied citrus, opulent body, opulent, powerful, a lot of generosity, great aging potential. 17

Michael Schuster: Mid-gold; rich, waxy nose; very nicely balanced, rich and vital Sauternes; intensely sweet, gently minerally flavor, nice length and complexity, with excellent persistence marked by a distinct botrytis spiciness. Fine, stylish, long-term Sauternes. Now to 2035+. 17+
