Keywords :  Complex / Rich / Sweet

The wine : The Grand Vin from Château Haut-Bergeron delivers a superb expression of Sauternes, with a style that is both rich, precise and perfectly balanced. The nose opens with a generous aromatic palette of candied orange, roasted pineapple and ripe mango, complemented by delicate notes of cinnamon and nutmeg that bring even greater complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, smooth and almost buttery, with a deliciously generous texture. Yet it retains enough freshness to avoid any heaviness, extending the tasting experience with remarkable elegance. Generous, complex and harmonious, this Sauternes combines aromatic richness, depth and excellent length. A wine with real character, capable of standing alongside some of the finest references from the appellation.
