La Fleur d'Or Sauternes 2021

A luminous golden-yellow (amber in mature vintages)  with candied apricot, peach (especially white peach), mango, citrus with creamy patisserie, lemon curd, honey, marzipan, wet chalk & toasty notes.

Richly sweet but tempered by lively acidity—fruity yet never cloying

Honeyed tones, caramel, toast, white peach, apricot, and a touch of Victoria plum. Medium body with a smooth, velvety, and fresh finish.

Pairs with: 

Classic accompaniments include foie gras, blue cheese, and creamy desserts (e.g. vanilla ice cream or lemon meringue pie). Blue cheese with walnuts is the best for Sauternes IMO. Vanilla ice cream is very good too.
“After bites of lemon merengue pie, I taste a fruit‑tangy like iron, burnt toast, and grapefruit.” 

Serve chilled, ideally at 10 °C, though slightly warmer for older vintages
