This vintage is characterised by its complexity, showcasing flavours of apricot, honey and subtle spice. The blend primarily comprises Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, reflecting the unique terroir of the Sauternes region.

Vinous
Palish, green-tinged color. Floral, grassy, apple-scented nose, with a high-toned suggestion of varnish. Good silky texture in the mouth; flavors of overripe apple and fresh herbs. In the distinctly dryer style of this producer. The acidity seems a bit disjointed. Finishes quite fresh, with a stony quality and an impression of tannins.Stephen Tanzer1st July 1998
