Notes: Guide Hachette 2** (remarkable wine), Bettane & Desseauve 17.5/20,
“The quintessential sweet wine, inimitable, made from Petit Manseng, with a dreamy texture—one of the finest recent expressions of this famous cuvée. ” (Grand Guide des Vins de France 2010 - Bettane & Desseauve). The pure magic of sun-dried Petit Manseng, harvested in early December. A wine that captivates with its sweetness, full of finesse and delicacy. Nobility, yes... and in abundance!

Un grand vin qui s'appréciera sur des mets délicats : foie gras frais poêlé, truffe à la croque de sel ou pourquoi ne pas le déguster à l’apéritif, tout simplement pour le plaisir du vin lui-même ?...<br/>
