"Remarkable and unmissable, the "Monument" lives up to its name!"
"Opening with a waxy, expressive nose, Monument Sémillon 2022 offers aromas of spicy peach and wax melon essences before displaying a delicious floral note. Medium-bodied but impressively weighty, the palate is complex, revealing surprising breadth and depth before a rocky, mineral finish. Give it another year and drink it over the next decade. Only 2,600 bottles were produced after resting in old oak barrels. 2024-2034" (Robert Parker 2023)

About the wine:
This elegant Semillon presents aromas of dried white flowers, lime cream, chopped nuts and wild herbs. Full-bodied and creamy, it has delicious almond and white sesame characters. The texture is very supple and the evolving finish is of great freshness. For drinking or cellaring.
