Wines by Grands Vins De Gironde

Le Tertre Du Lys Dor Sauternes 2005

The most famous and prestigious sweet white wine in the world, vines of the Appellation Sauternes Controlee are stimulated by a unique microclime during autumn, as sunny dry weather of the day alternates with cool fog at night. Due to the extremely low yields of two to three glasses per vine, Sauternes are extraordinarily complex and can withstand prolonged cellaring. Offering a wide range of intense aromas, as Sauterne approaches the peak of it's development, it develops immensely attractive layers of honeyed characters, toasted nuts and candied fruits.

Sauternes cannot be made without the help of the providential fungus Botrytis Cinerea or Noble Rot, which concentrates the juices and infuses the wine with seemingly infinite complexity. Harvesting takes place grape by grape to include only those berries which are botrytised and perfect for the purpose. Vineyards are picked over, four to eight different times at each vintage, to apply the painstaking pruning and selection methods which are unique to the Sauternes region. Delicious as an aperitif, alongside Foie gras et Roquefort or as an accompaniement to haute cuisine such as scampi, asparagus or crab. Ideally serve chilled to 8°C with classical desserts such as brûlée, tarte tatin or fruit soufflé.

Stunning gold appearance. The initial impression on the bouquet is of honey and caramelled fruit, enticing aromas of lime blossoms, quinces, figs and toast, going on to unravel layers of complexity as the wine continues to evolve in the glass. Tertre Du Lys is powerful on the palate with delicious flavours and elegant aftertaste, fullness and balance, richness and ripe acidity.
